Thursday

Devotion:

This reading teaches us about the principle of generous giving and its link to our faith journey. God loves a cheerful giver, and our giving reflects our understanding of His generosity toward us. This sheds light on the importance of being open-handed with our resources, not only for the benefit of others but as an act of worship toward God.

Evaluate your practice of giving. Do you give out of obligation, or do you give with joy and purpose? God calls us to be generous and support His work in the church and our communities, understanding that our resources can be blessings to others when used according to His plan.

Questions:

What does it mean to be a cheerful giver in your own life?

How can you identify needs in your church or community that you can address?

What steps can you take to grow in your practice of generosity?

Prayer and Reflection:

Pray for a heart aligned with God’s generosity.

Ask Him to reveal opportunities for you to give and bless others.
