Luke 8:1-3
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
Today's Thought: God wants us to be part of His work through the gifts we received from Him.
Most people only know of William Tyndale as the man who worked on the translation of the Bible into the English language. During the translation work, Tyndale was forced to go into hiding as he completed the massive work the Lord has laid on his heart. But not many people know of Humphrey Monmouth.
Monmouth was a wealthy cloth merchant who covered all of Tyndale's expenses as he worked on the translation. He worked on his connections to smuggle Bibles from Germany to England. Without the generosity and courage of Monmouth, it would be impossible for Tyndale to continue his work.
Not all of us could stand on pulpits to preach the gospel. Not all of us are called to be evangelists. But all of us are called to be part of the great work of the Lord. We need to take part in the ministry of the Lord through our giving unto church for the glory of God.
