GENESIS 28:20,22 (CEV)
Jacob solemnly promised God, “...I will give back to you a tenth of everything you give me.”
2 CORINTHIANS 9:6 (ABP)
Think of it this way, the person who plants only a few seeds ends up with a small crop but the person who plants a lot of seeds reaps a considerable crop.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Generosity pays.
PRAYER
Generous God, you've given everything so that we can experience abundant lives. I admit that I haven't quite grasped the whole generosity thing. I can be penny-pinching and stingy. I worry that there will not be enough. Free me to live according to the divine model. As your abundant life flows through me set me free to live generously. I'm going to honor Christ through my open-handedness. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
