But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be. For if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident. So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift, not as one grudgingly given.

Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent—a time for reflection, repentance, and renewal when Christians are invited to prepare themselves for the celebration of the Lord’s resurrection. Throughout the forty weekdays and six Sundays in Lent, pray and reflect on God’s renewing power.
The Bible has a lot to say about giving. Most of us know to give to the church, and the poor, maybe even a child in need in a third-world country. But God's perspective on giving is much greater. This 7-day plan will help readers gain a biblical understanding and perspective on giving, apply it to their lives, and prepare them to share this learning with others.
The life of faith is not meant to be lived in isolation. As followers of Jesus, we are part of a community, diverse in our preferences and purposes, but unified by Christ. Join this 7-day devotional with Andrew and Wendy Palau, and let God reveal your belonging and purpose in the family of God.
