Bow low in the Presence of GOD, your God. And rejoice! Celebrate all the good things that GOD, your God, has given you and your family...
1 TIMOTHY 6:17–18 (MSG)
Tell those rich in this world’s wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money, which is here today and gone tomorrow. Tell them to go after God, who piles on all the riches we could ever manage—to do good, to be rich in helping others, to be extravagantly generous.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God blesses us extravagantly so that we can be extravagantly generous.
DAILY FODDER
What excuse do you most often use for not being extravagantly generous?
PRAYER
Great God, your gifts are endless. In spite of all the blessings I've received I contnue to hold on to a mindset of scarcity. Free me from my irrational fear so that I can partner with you in your extravagant generosity. Today I'm going to look for someone to bless with my time, money, or energy – even more so than anyone expects. I'm going to lean into your amazing grace. 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.
