I was meditating on the scripture in 2 Cor. 9 which talks about being givers. And then Psalms 112 caught my eye.
Here is a portion of it in The Message:
“Hallelujah! Blessed man, blessed woman, who fear God. Their houses brim with wealth and a generosity that never runs dry. Sunrise breaks through the darkness for good people – God’s grace and mercy and justice! The good person is generous and lends lavishly. Unfazed by rumor and gossip, heart ready, trusting in God, the Spirit firm, unperturbed, ever blessed, relaxed among enemies, they lavish gifts on the poor- A generosity that goes on, and on, and on. An honored life! A beautiful life!“
I pray that that spirit of generosity would engulf each of us as we continue to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. That we don’t have to fear what the world or the enemy says to us for our confidence is in the Lord. “Sunrise breaks through the darkness”!
2Cor 9:6 states, ”he that sows sparingly will reap sparingly, but he that sows bountifully shall reap bountifully.”
I choose to be a bountiful sower. For it truly is more blessed to give than to receive.
Be a generous blessing to someone today!
