THE BLESSINGS OF A GENEROUS HEART
Proverbs 22:9 A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.
Generosity guarantees blessings. Here is priceless wisdom. Do you look for opportunities to give? Do you give liberally? Do you get excited about giving? God loves generous givers. If you give to the poor, you lend to Almighty God, and He repays well (Proverbs 19:17 He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.)
This financial secret is unknown to the world. No business school anywhere teaches it. You will get ahead farther and faster by giving money away to God-approved needs than saving and investing.
God will bless the man who gives eagerly and generously to the poor. God looks out for the poor because He withheld from them abilities and opportunities He gave others. He is pleased to see a successful man giving cheerfully and liberally to help those in trouble.
God will bless the man who gives liberally, which is giving freely, generously, beyond basics, beyond expectations, creatively, and spontaneously. If a man suing for your coat should also get your cloak, what of a man needing the coat (Matt 5:40)? When taking the poor to dinner, as commanded by Jesus, take them to a nice place (Luke 14:12-14). It is scattering that pleases God, and withholding liberality offends Him. He has never been stingy with you, so why would the thought enter your mind for others?
God’s rules for giving start with your family (Pr 13:22 A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous.), then the poor in your church and your faithful pastor, if you have one, then the poor in other true churches, and then the poor God puts in your ordinary course of life.
Prayer: Thank you, Father, for never being stingy with me, you gave out everything for me and I am grateful, help me do the same in Jesus name. Amen
