DAY 30 - Living The Overflow Life For Tomorrow
Read It
Genesis 12
Study It
The next time you drive down a road, think about the people who built that road. The work they did in the past made it possible for you drive somewhere in the present.
Generosity works like that, too.
Sure, your gifts help meet immediate needs. But you’re also making a difference in the days to come. You’re paving the way for future blessings for people that you may not even know.
In Genesis 12:1-2, God told Abraham that he would be the “father of a great nation” and all the nations of the earth would be blessed through him. Abraham’s faithfulness to follow God meant countless generations would be blessed. There’s no way Abraham could have wrapped his mind around that promise.
While we may not fully realize what our generosity means for the future, most of us can look back and see how other people’s generosity and kindness has impacted us. We are where we are because of others.
And people you may not even know will be blessed because of your generosity. That’s because your giving doesn’t just impact today; it impacts tomorrow.
Final Devotional Thoughts
Christianity is about giving and receiving. Because God gave His Son, we can receive the free gift of salvation. That’s the heart of the Gospel. But because God has been so generous toward us, we want to be generous to others. Thats the heart of loving our neighbors. Giving truly is an amazing thing. It reflects the very heart of God, makes a tangible difference in our church and in the world, and helps expand the Kingdom of God.
Thank you for making an impact…thank you for being a giver…thank you for LIVING IN THE OVERFLOW!
