Our Scripture reading today is 2 Corinthians 9:7, " Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
The challenge from the Apostle Paul is to be a giver with the proper attitude. Everyone who knows the Lord should give. My attitude when giving is to be thankful that I have an opportunity to give. As we studied last night, it is what we have that God wants not what we do not have. Would we be able to give had God not given to us in the first place? It is quite obvious the answer is "no". God has graciously taken care of all our needs. We should be more than willing to give back and do it cheerfully. “It must be hilarious giving, giving out of the heart, because you love to give, not because you are bound to give.” (Morgan)
Look for ways you can give today!
