Equipped to Help Others
"And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work.” — 2 Corinthians 9:8
Generosity doesn’t come naturally to most of us — not the kind of generosity the Bible urges us to have. Most of us will gladly give if we think the cause is worthy and we feel we can afford it, but the Bible urges us to go beyond that: to give sacrificially to God’s work. We must never forget that everything we have has been given to us by God. Yes, we may have worked hard and earned what we have, but we should consider who gave us our abilities and opportunities. We should be responsible givers and pray for those who don’t have the spirit of giving, that the Lord may touch their hearts to help those doing good work in the name of the Lord, for the sake of the Gospel.
