What I heard from Jesus today is: Do your best in giving!
Wow! Paul says do your best in giving. If we can do so well in many things like trusting God, articulate in speech, having insightful knowledge, passionate and loving, we need to do our best in giving.
So, how well is your giving? This chapter and the next have the most extensive teaching about Christian giving in New Testament. Here are some of the main points in this chapter:
1. Giving to God First: This is a trust issue and is His will. (v. 5)
2. Serve God and not money: we need to make this basic and important decision. (v. 5)
3. Giving is to honor God. (v. 19, 23)
4. Giving should be in proportion to what we are able. (v. 3)
5. We give in order to help those in need. (v. 14)
6. Giving is seen as a proof of our love. (v. 8, 24)
I do pray and hope that you can do your best in giving!
Dear Heavenly Father,
We belong to you and all we have comes from you. Help us to give as best as we can that we can learn how to trust and love you. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
