A Life Lesson About Money
Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 9:1-15
Focus
Verse: 2 Corinthians 9:9 The Scriptures say, "Godly people give
generously to the poor. Their good deeds will never be forgotten."
Augustine
gives us a quote about his observation of Christian giving and
tithing. "We give earth, and receive heaven. We give temporal, and
receive the eternal. We give things corruptible, and receive the
immortal. Lastly we give what God has bestowed, and receive God
Himself. Let us not be slothful in such a commerce as this. Let us not
continue to be poor."
When we give our tithes and
offerings to God we never lose, we always gain. God always promises
blessings to those who give to Him. Many Christians give to the Lord
because they think, now I will get more, but this is the wrong
motivation. We give to the Lord out of love, devotion, and cheerful
obedience as well as a form of worship, not just so we can get something
in return. We can rejoice in knowing that when we give to meet the
needs of others, that God can in turn meet our needs.
Who do you know today that you could bless in Jesus name?
"Giving to the Lord never impoverishes."
