1 Corinthians 11:17-34 "Now in this that I declare unto you..." KJV - Online Bible Study Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, butfor the worse. 18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there bedivisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19 For there must be also heresies among you, thatthey which are approved may be made manifest among you. 20 When ye come together thereforeinto one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry , and another is drunken . 22 What? have ye not houses to eatand to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I sayto you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 23 For I have received of the Lord that whichalso I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed tookbread: 24 And when he had given thanks , he brake it, and said , Take , eat : this is my body,which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took thecup, when he had supped , saying , This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye , as oftas ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come . 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drinkthis cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a manexamine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth anddrinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep . 31 For if we would judgeourselves, we should not be judged . 32 But when we are judged , we are chastened of the Lord,that we should not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye cometogether to eat , tarry one for another. 34 And if any man hunger , let him eat at home; that yecome not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come .

I give with joy and delight.

Opportunities to give are plentiful. I am filled with joy each time I act on one of those opportunities. Giving my time, talent or treasure is not a burden. I do not give out of obligation. I give with love and without hesitation. I give with joy and delight, simply because I want to contribute.

How and what will I give today? I may call to encourage a friend, take treats to my co-workers, change a flat tire for a stranger, volunteer or donate to a charity, or give back to an organization that feeds me spiritually.

At the close of the day as I count my blessings, I smile as I recall how I gave of myself today. My reward is the joy in my heart that comes from giving.

Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.--2 Corinthians 9:7

1 Corinthians 11:1-16 "Be ye followers of me, even as..." KJV - Online Bible Study

1 Corinthians 11:1-16 "Be ye followers of me, even as..." KJV - Online Bible StudyBe ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. ² Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. ³ But I would have you know , that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. ⁴ Every man praying or prophesying , having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. ⁵ But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven . ⁶ For if the woman be not covered , let her also be shorn : but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven , let her be covered . ⁷ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸ For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. ⁹ Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. ¹⁰ For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. ¹¹ Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. ¹² For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. ¹³ Judge in yourselves : is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? ¹⁴ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair , it is a shame unto him? ¹⁵ But if a woman have long hair , it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. ¹⁶ But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

2 Kings 4:1-44

¹ Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying , Thy servant my husband is dead ; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. ² And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said , Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. ³ Then he said , Go , borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few . ⁴ And when thou art come in , thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. ⁵ So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out . ⁶ And it came to pass, when the vessels were full , that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed . ⁷ Then she came and told the man of God. And he said , Go , sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest . ⁸ And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by , he turned in thither to eat bread. ⁹ And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. ¹⁰ Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. ¹¹ And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. ¹² And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. ¹³ And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered , I dwell among mine own people. ¹⁴ And he said , What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered , Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old . ¹⁵ And he said , Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. ¹⁶ And he said , About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said , Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid. ¹⁷ And the woman conceived , and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life. ¹⁸ And when the child was grown , it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers . ¹⁹ And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother. ²⁰ And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died . ²¹ And she went up , and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out . ²² And she called unto her husband, and said , Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again . ²³ And he said , Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said , It shall be well. ²⁴ Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive , and go forward ; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee. ²⁵ So she went and came unto the man of God tomount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off , that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite: ²⁶ Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered , It is well. ²⁷ And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away . And the man of God said , Let her alone ; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. ²⁸ Then she said , Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say , Do not deceive me? ²⁹ Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way : if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again : and lay my staff upon the face of the child. ³⁰ And the mother of the child said , As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose , and followed her. ³¹ And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying , The child is not awaked . ³² And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead , and laid upon his bed. ³³ He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD. ³⁴ And he went up , and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm . ³⁵ Then he returned , and walked in the house to and fro ; and went up , and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. ³⁶ And he called Gehazi, and said , Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said , Take up thy son. ³⁷ Then she went in , and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out . ³⁸ And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets. ³⁹ And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not. ⁴⁰ So they poured out for the men to eat . And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out , and said , O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof. ⁴¹ But he said , Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said , Pour out for the people, that they may eat . And there was no harm in the pot. ⁴² And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said , Give unto the people, that they may eat . ⁴³ And his servitor said , What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again , Give the people, that they may eat : for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat , and shall leave thereof. ⁴⁴ So he set it before them, and they did eat , and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.

Amos 9:1-15

¹ I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said , Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake : and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away , and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered . ² Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down : ³ And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them: ⁴ And though they go into captivity before their enemies , thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. ⁵ And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt , and all that dwell therein shall mourn : and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned , as by the flood of Egypt. ⁶ It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name. ⁷ Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? ⁸ Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD. ⁹ For, lo, I will command , and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. ¹⁰ All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say , The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. ¹¹ In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen , and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: ¹² That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. ¹³ Behold, the days come , saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper , and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt . ¹⁴ And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. ¹⁵ And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
