Today’s Reflection
[The Bible teaches] us two lessons about using our resources. The first is to use our resources carefully so that our needs are met. The second is that when there is abundance, we should share it with others.
—Wessel Bentley, Facing Financial Struggle: 28 Days of Prayer (Upper Room Books, 2010)

What resources do you have an abundance of? Who do you know who has little? Share your abundance with them this week. Join the conversation.
Today’s Scripture
At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come here and eat some of this bread and dip your morsel in the sour wine.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he heaped up for her some parched grain. She ate until she was satisfied, and she had some left over.
—Ruth 2:14 (NRSVUE)
Prayer for the Week
God of abundance, you provide us with so many good things. Let us be good stewards of our resources so that we can not only have a taste of your abundance, but share it with others. Amen.
Submit your prayer to The Upper Room.
