Bible Verse of The Day – 5-12-20

Ephesians 4:28 (NKJV) 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

One of the things that this ministry is based on is prayerfully giving to those in need. We say prayerfully because we have learned over the years that “God giving” is better than “people giving just because”.

For example, if God lays something on our heart to do for someone, even if we don’t understand why and we just do it, it is so much more powerful than us trying to figure out what to give to someone on our own. When we do this, we are truly His hands and feet.

There are some that have never experienced such God-given gifts. Boy, is it fulfilling, but not just for the receiver. I think the giver is even more ecstatic if they have the opportunity to see and feel the emotions from the receiver.

Sometimes, though, gifts are given in secret, so we never get to see or experience this. But this doesn’t remove or negate the excitement of giving!

We need to be prayerful about our giving. And to be clear, we are not talking about tithes. Our tithe is not meant to be negotiable and/or questionable. It is what it is and we need to automatically give to God the 10 percent He has asked us for.

We are talking about giving above and beyond our tithe.

God will sometimes lay on our hearts to give something to someone and it is a great time to sow a very important seed.

Be prayerful about our giving. Make every little bit of it count. God is faithful to do His part.

Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
