AUGUST 7 READING…2 CORINTHIANS 9
Have you ever considered why you are so very blessed by God? Well, we are blessed because God is a good God, who by His amazing grace pours blessings into our lives. But could there be another reason for the abundance we have been blessed with by our heavenly Father? I believe there is…we have been blessed to be a blessing. We were never meant to hoard what God has given us, nor were we meant to sit back and boast about how blessed we are. We are to bless others with what God has blessed us with. To be able to be used of God and meet the needs of others is a great privilege. Paul instructs us to be eager to give…to sow bountifully in our giving. We are to give cheerfully. We have received freely the goodness of God…we are to give freely to others. When we understand that everything we have, and everything we are is a gift from God, we realize that we have no right to just hang on to it…we are to give it away as we are led by the Spirit of God. Think about it this way…we have received in Jesus God’s indescribable gift; how can we not be willing and happy to give to others? Here is an approach to acknowledging the blessings of God…be thankful, take care of your family, and give to others that they might experience the goodness of God through you.
Please share your thoughts.
