40acts: The Lent Generosity Challenge

DAY 33 OF 47

How do we know when it’s time to be a Mary and when it’s time to be a Martha?

As Mary was seated at Jesus’ feet, He says that she had chosen what is better not what is right. There wasn’t anything wrong with Martha making preparations, but it wasn’t the right time for it.   

Maybe you have a natural tendency to be quite protective over your schedule, unwilling to change plans, especially if they’re last minute.   What if generosity looked like more than just changing last-minute plans but was about choosing to be available for people.

Your schedule may well be full of important things, but today choose to serve others in generosity, even as your worship.

About this Plan

40acts: The Lent Generosity Challenge

What if Lent was about giving out instead of giving up? This Bible plan is an adaptation of the full 40acts challenge. Our hope is that as you explore and practice biblical generosity in all areas of your life, you would experience its transformational impact. Each day contains a prompt for one act of generosity on that day's topic, with Sunday reflections summarising the theme of the acts that week.
