Having Faith: Assume Sufficiency, Not Scarcity - Day 20

September 14, 2012

"Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and everything you put your hands to."  Deuteronomy 15:10

As have many others, we have had times in our life when we had struggles with our jobs, finances, even our marriage and did not know what the next day would bring.  However, we were blessed that we never went hungry and always had a roof over our heads.  God was watching over us; even though we might not have been so generous to him.

As we have grown in our faith we also have grown in our giving; not only our tithes and offerings but our time.  In doing so we are the ones receiving.  We receive the gifts of fellowship and the rewards for contributing which lead to much more fulfilling and joyous life.

Prayer:  Lord thank you for all the generous blessings you have provided to us; when we were not so generous to you .  Continue to work through us is our journey through faith; and let us be examples to others to not be scared to have faith and assume sufficiency not scarcity.
