A Lesson in Abundance
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.—Luke 21:4 (NIV)
Turn from evil and do good.—Psalm 34:14 (NIV)
When something bad happens, do you complain, dwell on the past and spread negativity? This Scripture tells us to do the opposite; not just to turn away from evil, but to do good. When you encounter anger, jealousy or hatred strive to make things better. Bring love and understanding to the problem.
Lord, restore me with Your peace. When I’m on the edge of losing my temper, give me the patience and foresight to return good for evil.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.—Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)
