2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Today's Thought:
Have you ever thought about the people that have “more” and you think, “if I had what they had, I would be so generous.”? I know I’ve thought about it. However, some of the most powerful moments in the Bible are when people give a little because God doesn’t look at the amount, but at the heart. If you can’t give when you have little, how do you expect to give when you have a lot? This thought isn’t to discourage us but to inspire us knowing that God can use it all. Be generous today! Pay for someone’s coffee, surprise someone with a gift, give to one of the amazing organizations that we support, or just ask God to open your eyes to one generous act that you can do today that would meet someone in a place of need.

Prayer Focus:
Father, I know that I am not an owner but a manager! You’ve given me so many blessings and I pray that I can continue to steward them well. I pray that I don’t use the resources you’ve blessed me with to simply focus on the things that will eventually fade away. Let me invest it in building your kingdom as I give generously to those around me. So here I am, palms up, fully surrendered. I give you my time, the giftings that you have placed in me and the treasure that you have placed in my hands. I want to steward all of these well, in Jesus name.
