Thought For Today

Giving to God


Listen Later

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 3rd of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the last book of the Bible, Revelation 3:20:

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.“ 

So often we want to receive from God. How often do we want to give God what we have? I can hear somebody say, “I have got nothing to give Him.” Oh yes, you have plenty to give Him. Do you remember the little boy that Jesus asked the disciples to find out if any of the men, 5000 of them, had anything, any food, to give Him? I am sure many of those men had food, but they were not giving it to Jesus. There was a little boy, his mommy had probably packed him a little lunch bag and said, “There are two little sardines and five little barley loaves of bread. You go and have that lunch when you go and listen to Jesus.” He gave his all to Jesus. Jesus took it, prayed over it, multiplied it and fed 5000 men. But you see, the little boy gave to Jesus.

Now, this Bible verse is two-fold. The Lord said, “I will come in and dine with you and you with Me.” Now, what is it that we can give to the Lord? Well, I want to tell you a little story. My wife, Jill, and I were up in Central Africa many years ago, staying with a very poor family. These Zambians had very little to eat, but this pastor had a small congregation. His congregation came every day, and they brought one egg each, and those eggs were to feed Jill and me. We had two fried eggs every morning, and every morning they brought food for us. Now, we had plenty of food, and they knew that, but they brought what they had to us. 

That touched me so deeply. I didn’t even want to eat the eggs, but I knew if I didn’t, I would have offended them. So I ate those eggs heartily and thanked them, and blessed them for their love towards Jill and I. I want to tell you, Jesus today is saying, “What have you got for me? I am coming in to dine with you, to eat your food, and I want you to eat My food.” We need to share what we have with one another because He says “As much as you have done it unto the least of these, My brethren, you have done it to Me.” If you feed someone today who cannot repay you, you are feeding the Lord. 

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
