Often this scripture is used in reference to tithes and offering. We’ve been conditioned to associate this scripture with monetary giving to the church. And that’s ok, but in context, this scripture is actually Jesus telling the disciples how to live and treat others.

Further up the passage Jesus says to love, pray, do good, don’t judge, forgive, and give. This is how we ought to live, and doing so means God will pour back into our lap. We don’t serve because we want something in return. But when we serve, God will always refill us.

So what can you give today? And try to think about this in the context of serving instead of writing a check.
