Thought For Today: “Giving God’s Way”
God has given the church everything it needs to change the world. God is the owner of the cattle on a thousand hills, and while all the gold and silver is His (Haggai 2:8), He’s given it to the church through His saints.
The church, however, struggles not only to make ends meet but also in meeting the needs of those in need. This reveals that those within the church are not giving the way God has prescribed.
When we give to the Lord the way He prescribes in the Bible, we’re investing in the kingdom of God and toward the spirit of revival.
If we want God to bless the church and ourselves, especially in the area of finances, we must handle our finances His way. Our giving involves more than merely managing what God has given us; it is also refusing to allow things to manage us.
What I find interesting is that we pray for God supernatural intervention in our finances but are unwilling to follow His instructions in our giving.
Therefore, let’s take Paul admonition and give with the right attitude, because in the end it’s God’s anyway.
“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)
