He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. Acts 10:2 NIV Bible Gateway
Do you give money to causes that build up the kingdom of God? Do you desire to tithe or do you only do it because you feel compelled?
There are many verses in scripture dealing with money, finances, giving, receiving, hoarding money, and squandering riches. Do a word search as it is very interesting. Never ever give because you are trying to get something back but have a heart attitude of willingness and trust.
You are only the steward of the money that God has allowed you to acquire. Don’t get fixated on money as stocks rise and fall and change is always around the corner. Put your trust in God and know a test of how much love you have for him is how you willingly give money without someone suggesting it or forcing you to. Live generously and you will be happier.
PRAYER: Father forgive me when I put giving to you and kingdom work last because I failed to trust your provision for me. You are a miracle working God who helps families in need experience a blessing from above. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
