Proverbs 3:9-10 (AMP) 9 Honor the Lord with your wealth And with the first fruits of all your crops (income); 10 Then your barns will be abundantly filled And your vats will overflow with new wine.
Thank you for joining us again today!
Now that we’ve laid the groundwork and established that God views our finances as seeds to be sown, let’s dig deeper.
As we ended yesterday’s devotional, we were discussing what happens when we encounter a lean season, or a period of financial difficulty.
Our first instinct, which is based solely on human logic and understanding, is to look for areas where we can cut spending.
This can be good, provided we also view our situation with the discernment of the Holy Spirit, not just by human understanding.
But when we operate solely by human understanding, we will begin slashing anything that we view as unnecessary or optional. And, unfortunately, our giving is often viewed as optional.
What we frequently fail to recognize or understand is that our giving, when carried out with the right heart and proper understanding, is our lifeline to thriving, not just financially, but also in our relationship with God.
You see, we need to view our giving less as an obligation carried out mechanically and more as a sworn covenant between us and Him.
It is our understanding of this, and our faithfulness in upholding our end of the covenant, that will change the way we handle our giving and our finances as a whole.
And with that thought, let’s wrap this up for today. And we will talk more tomorrow 😊
