Day 58: Sacrificial Giving

July 8 • Bible reading from 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 Sacrificial Giving

Behaviour: "The way I use my money reflects my faith in God."

Text:

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows
generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to
give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to
make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will
abound in every good work.
As it is written:
"He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever."

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your
store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every
way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result
in thanksgiving to God.

Take a minute:

Pray for an opportunity to be generous this week, and do it anonymously.

Ask God to show you how 2 Corinthians 9:11 comes true!
