"Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men."

King James Version

Passage Context

¹⁹And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:

²⁰Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:

²¹Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

²²And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.

²³Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.

Devotional Reflection

GratitudeHopeCompassion

We want to be kind and help people in need, especially those in our Christian family. Generosity shows how much God's gifts of love have touched our hearts. At the same time, those in charge, especially those entrusted with funds given to bless others in the name of God, should pay close attention to what the Apostle Paul did and what he said. These leaders need to be careful about how they spend the money that God's people give to help others in Jesus' name.

Prayer

God, please let us, your people, off the hook. Please forgive us for not sharing the blessings you have given us more. Please forgive us for putting up with the con artists and money-grabbers who pretend to be your servants. May both leaders and those who help us be seen as honorable and holy as we use your money to do your work and share the grace of Jesus freely. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
