2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (LSB) 6 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows with blessing will also reap with blessing. 7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make every grace abound to you, so that in everything at every time having every sufficiency, you may have an abundance for every good deed;<\/p>\n

The word of God frequently refers to sowing, planting, and reaping.<\/p>\n

This is sometimes in reference to the sowing of material goods, or even our works (helping others, etc.).<\/p>\n

But it is most often referring to sowing our finances; the fruits of our labor.<\/p>\n

Yes, God is interested in what we do with our money.<\/p>\n

Our finances are like seeds that God has blessed us with.<\/p>\n

And we must choose what we will do with these seeds He has placed into our hands.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s word tells us to give (sow).<\/p>\n

It is by giving (sowing) that these seeds are planted. Seeds that are planted then have the opportunity to grow and produce fruit.<\/p>\n

Seeds that are not sown cannot grow. And this is where we need to pay close attention to God\u2019s word!<\/p>\n

The verses above tell us that how we give is important; sparingly, grudgingly, out of a sense of obligation, or cheerfully and with a blessing!<\/p>\n

And here is why that matters.<\/p>\n

If we give out of a sense of obligation, or grudgingly, we are more apt to use any excuse to stop our giving at the first opportunity or the first tough situation we encounter.<\/p>\n

Financial difficulty is the number one reason that people stop giving (sowing). Things get tough or a bit tight, and the purse strings are tied shut.<\/p>\n

And then our situation declines, making it worse.<\/p>\n

Why? Because we have ceased sowing (planting seeds). And with no seeds, there is no crop (harvest).<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look more closely at this tomorrow.<\/p>\n
