I love that we serve a God who is generous. He is generous in love, generous in grace, and generous in favor. II Corinthians 8:9 actually talks about how rich we are in Christ. We know that applies spiritually, but it also applies naturally as well. So, how are you doing financially? Where ever you are on the economic scale, I want you to remember this….if you are a Christian, you are blessed! We may be seeing things that look dire economically, but in the big picture, life in our part of the world is much better than ¾ of the world. Almost 20 % of the world is underfed and undernourished. Most of America is over fed and over nourished! In that one area alone, we need to count our blessings. If you are struggling right now, my heart goes out to you. I want you to remember that our God is Jehovah Jireh, our provider. He graciously sees a need and meets it. I want you to believe that God has more for you and that your financial situation get better, so that you can be more gracious and generous. Let’s confess about our generous God together:
I put my faith and trust in God
He is my Jehovah Jireh, the God of more than enough
My soul is prospering and so are my finances
I live to GIVE, and I love to GIVE
I sow my finances in God’s kingdom
Where every dollar produces for God and for me
I have more than enough to be generous
I hope that encourages you! God’s grace in our lives, gives us the ability to be generous with others!
