GIVING BACK
Glorify the Lord with your generosity,
And do not reduce the firstfruits of your hands.
In every gift let your face be cheerful,
And sanctify your tithe with gladness.
Give to the Most High as He has given to you,
And give to Him with generosity, according to your windfall.
For the Lord is He who repays,
And He will repay you sevenfold.
Personal Challenge
We are blessed by God with many things. It may be as simple and essential as the breath that we take or the beat of our heart. It may be as extensive as the wealth that we have or the possesions in our hands. God is generous to us and His expectation is that we will use His generosity to be generous to others. We are to share from the first fruits of our work with others in need, tithing and giving cheerfully and with gladness. We do this out of our gratitude and not to earn any favor with God or others. There is no reason to hoard when we know God will hold us in His hands and take care of us. Glory be to God!
