Generosity

God’s Word states that His desire is for us to prosper in our relationships and endeavors: it brings Him delight to see His children prosper and do well. To set us up for success, God has established methods by which we can live and wisdom we can follow to generate prosperity in all areas of our lives.

Your prosperity is connected to what you can both generate and give to others. All the abundance we have, be it monetary or talent or spirit, isn’t meant for us to bottle up and reserve for only ourselves. God’s system says that when we sew, we reap even more, and when we take care of the needs of others, it’s like we care directly for Him. Emphasis is always put on our hearts and attitude: giving should always take priority over consuming in our lives. Being generous isn’t something you do; it’s who you are. Generosity displays outwardly that we genuinely trust God’s promise to provide for our every need above and beyond what we can imagine.

PRAYER:

Father, I want to reflect your heart of generosity. Show me creative ways that I can give of my time, money, talent, and resources. I long to give with a cheerful heart, and I know that You promise to bless and refresh me when I do. God, give me a love for people and your church so that generosity becomes a part of who I am. When I am tempted to hold back, remind me of the ways You have been faithfully generous to me. Your Word says to test You in this area of giving, so I trust that as I give, You will always provide for me.
