Giving season…
I have written about Mission Aviation fellowship over the several years…one of the organizations that our family supports….
But, I would like to hear from others who they feel worthy of giving to in this season of giving…
Who do you support, outside of your church? If you do…we all are encouraged to give and those whose gifting is giving, to give generously….
Plus, we are urged to be cheerfully giving, not grudgingly….
We have the opportunity to give to be a part of those whom God uses to provide for others…
And, it is not about us…it is to bring glory to God…
Exodus 35: 5 Take from among you a contribution to the Lord. Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord's contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; 6 blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; goats' hair, 7 tanned rams' skins, and goatskins; acacia wood, 8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 9 and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.
Psalm 112: 5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
Proverbs 19: 17 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will repay him for his deed.
2 Corinthians 9: 9 As it is written,
“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”
10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God.
1 Timothy 6: 17 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.18 They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 19 thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
Colossians 3: 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
So, who, besides your local body, do you suggest as a giving opportunity? I hope to get lots of responses…
Thank YOU,
Thank you for giving to the Lord….
