Category: Giving Generously

Isaiah 32:8 (NKJV) 8 But a generous man devises generous things, And by generosity he shall stand.

To devise means to use knowledge and imagination to think of or to plan something.

The generous man thinks about how and what he will do for others. Or he devises ways he can give to help organizations that help others.

Being generous is something that stands out and draws attention. Most people that are very generous don’t want any recognition regarding the things they do for others. They just want to do it and go unnoticed.

They mostly just want to see that happy smile and the joy that often shows up on the one that is getting help or on the receiving end.

That is a reward in and of itself. It brings great satisfaction and joy to the generous one that money or recognition could never provide.

Maybe we are not the type of person to give randomly, or at all. Can we learn to become generous?

Absolutely!

There are many ways we can start.

First and foremost, we should be very generous with our sowing to God. That is giving of what we earn.

After giving to Him from our firstfruits, if we still have excess that we wish to give, ask Him to show us other areas or ways to share in being generous with others.

If we are serious in wanting to be generous, He will provide ways of being able to give.

Proverbs 11:25 (NKJV) 25 The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.

We can enjoy the blessings that we will reap as we are faithful in being generous and doing it with the right heart.

If you know someone who will enjoy this or be encouraged by it, please feel free to share it with them!
