So Two Good Things Will Result

From

This Ministry Of Giving

Scripture

2 Corinthians 9

11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. 12 So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.

Observation

Our giving will accomplish two things: 

1. It will meet the need of the person who we are helping. 

2. God will receive a “Thanks offering” from the person we helped!

I remember Psalm 50:23a “ But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me…” 

Application

 I will look for ways to be generous this week.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, there is no way that we can out give You! When we give to others the blessing is always ours. You love it. Thank You for blessing us so much. Thank You for the gift of “strawberries” that we received yesterday from someone in our small group. You will bless them for being a blessing to us. Thank You for their generosity. 

Thank You for all the people that helped serve in our church this past Sunday. I especially give You thanks for everyone who helped me with the Shave Ice Ministry. We cannot out give You.
