“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25, NIV)
Today’s scripture turns conventional wisdom on its head.
Conventional wisdom says that one prospers by conserving. God’s wisdom says that the more we give, the more we are given.
Will you accept the challenge to be a liberal, cheerful, giver of your time, talent, and treasure? – Luther
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7, NIV)
Each day, we have numerous opportunities to give.
In the context of today’s scripture, Paul is both commending and encouraging the disciples in Corinth (who were a pretty cosmopolitan lot in their day) to not only give of their treasure, but to give it liberally — and with a smile!
As you have opportunity to give today, remember that “God loves a cheerful giver.” – Luther
