PB Devotional
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:7-8 NIV
Paul mentioned the Macedonians as model givers in order to inspire others to give generously. The Macedonians were generous despite having to deal with severe trials and extreme poverty themselves. Their generosity didn't speak about their wealth; it spoke about their inner spirit. As Paul put it, they were richly generous. That means they had a very healthy spirit! Later in this letter Paul tells the Corinthians that each of them must make their own decisions about their generosity, or lack of it. It must be a voluntary decision, with each person trusting God as provider and remembering that "God loves a cheerful giver"
“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.”
2 Corinthians 9:10-12 NIV
Generosity isn't so much a matter of our prosperity or habits as it is of our inner spirit and heart!
