“6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” I needed to hear this today. I have been sowing some seeds sparingly out of fear and uncertainty, but I need to remember that “God loves a cheerful giver” and just dive in sometimes in using my gifts!

I’m preparing to go in a missions trip this summer and 2 Corinthians 9:12 stuck out to me: 12 “For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God.” I need to remember that the time and effort spent on missions trips are for serving, but they are also about connecting and rejoicing with fellow believers in Christ.

Reading the 2 Corinthians passage today, in addition to the Proverbs readings, has been been so convicting to me. How am I spending my money, time and talents? Am I being a generous and cheerful giver, trusting in God, or am I holding back and only trusting in myself? I pray that the Lord will change my heart into one that trusts in him completely and gives generously and cheerfully!

I searched for a commentary on this passage of Samuel being called back. It was very helpful. It gave me lots of insight to how satan’s deceitfulness works through mediums. Still going on today! I would suggest that anyone who needs clarification do the same. It was very revealing :)

I’m very confused by the passage about Samuel’s…. Ghost I guess it is? Was it really his ghost? Could his sprit be called back, especially by a human? How does this all work?
-
there is a lot of reading on this online and in commentaries, but the general idea I get is that it’s not Samuel at all but an evil spirit impersonating Samuel.

I had always thought that God had allowed, just this once, for the women to actual speak with a “ghost” as he wanted to remind Saul of the fact that he had lost favor. But demons/evil spirits can still speak the truth so it would also be possible for it to have been one of those.

This weirds me out too. I need to read more on the topic for clarity.

Yes! It’s like a novel I can’t put down!

15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
Each day, each blessing, each possession, each success. All glory is His. To God be all thanks.

6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Am I sowing bountifully believing that God’s grace will see me through the good work He has for me?

I think this passage is talking about actual giving and then being blessed by God for doing so.

Yes your correct Debbie! It’s very important to read in context :)
