God's supply should be our only provision

2 Corinthians 8:13 For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened; 14 but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack—that there may be equality. 15 As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.” We know that "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights..." (James 1:17a) And we believe God will supply "all our needs according to His riches in glory." (Philippians 4:19) So if it is God's supply, it's perfect, as we'll always have enough to share with others, which ties into another promise, Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. (Luke 6:38) If you or I don't share, and we take too much, we may actually be taking anothers supply, that we were supposed to give them. I have been convicted when I've eaten too much only to find out someone else didn't get any. We must only receive what God intends as our provision, and always be ready to share, liberally. If we do, we will see many more that are now going without, be richly supplied as we are now. Then we will know, and feel the blessing of, "remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20:35)
