Developing a Generous Mindset

Adapted from Wake Up to the Word

The generous man [is a source of blessing and] shall be prosperous and enriched, and he who waters will himself be watered [reaping the generosity he has sown].

We are never more like God than when we are helping others, showing His love to those who are hurting. If you are willing to share with others and meet their needs, God will not only meet your needs but He will give you an abundance of supply so you will always be able to give.

I encourage you to develop the mindset that you are a generous giver. Look for ways to give and for needy people to whom you can give. The more you reach out to others, the happier you will be.

Jesus said that we would always have the poor with us (see Matthew 26:11), and the Bible has more than two thousand scriptures that deal with our responsibility to the poor and needy. Study what the Bible says about God’s provision and see yourself as one who meets needs rather than one who is needy.

Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for developing a generous nature in me and for giving me plenty of time, help, and provision to give away, amen.
