November 5 How to Get What You Want! Luke 6:38
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:38)
In April of 2019, an article was published in the Sword of the Lord Publication, authored by Dr. Curtis Hudson, and when I read it, I immediately clipped it out and placed it is my Bible for future readings. I would like to share it with you today!
How to Get What You Want!
The Bible says in Luke 6:38, “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Notice the little expression, “Give, and it shall be given unto you.” The Bible does not say what to give; it only says, “Give.” If I understand the verse, it means we get what we give. If a man wants kindness, he should give kindness and kindness will come back “good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over.” If a man wants others to smile at him, then he should give smiles and smiles will come back “good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over.” Whatever you want, then that is the thing you must start giving. This same principle is taught in the Golden Rule: “Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” (Matthew 7:12)… The same principle is taught in Galatians 6:7: “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Sow smiles and reap smiles. Sow frowns and reap frowns. Sow kindness and reap kindness. “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Speak kind words and you will hear kind echoes! (Dr. Curtis Hudson)
