What You Sow Is What You Get

2 Corinthians 9:6-15

6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 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. 9 As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." 10 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. 11 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.

Bee's Thoughts:

The above verses have become part of my life since I became a Christian. I believe that when I give to God cheerfully, He will give me in return many times more (not necessary in monetary term). This belief enables me to tithe regularly to my Church.

Yes, sometimes the devil would tell me not to give by giving me all kinds of reasons to justify it. Yet, I firmly claim on the promises of God and believe I should give the little that I have, just like the woman with the 2 cents coin who gave her all to Jesus. Truly, I have reaped the promises of God many times in my life... I may not be rich financially, but I have no lack.

Now is the time for me to trust God in His providence since I am not working full time. God would not let His children go round begging. I won't. Perhaps God is testing my now. I am still giving my monthly "faith pledge", but I think I will give the full amount instead so that the devil can't tempt me to stop giving.

Thank you, Lord, for reminding me of your promises. Your grace is sufficient for me. With You nothing is impossible. Let me not lose faith in You. Amen.
