DAY 11

God Bless you people of God

What a wonderful series of proverbs we are in now. This stuff is good!

Reminder: Read Proverb 11 and pray 3 times a day (Still waiting to hear from you all concerning what God is revealing to you. Wisdom nugget: it is helpful to take your time reading these proverbs or at least meditate on the focus text or one you find interesting. Then you will be able to see it in your life)

Focus Text: Proverb 11:24-25

24 One man (woman) gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

25 A generous man (woman) will prosper;
he (she) who refreshes others will himself (herself) be refreshed.

Reflection: Think about this......Giving is the wise thing to do. Giving is a wise thing to do. God loves a cheerful giver!!! God loves a person who does not mind having the faith to believe that our lack is not God's lack.

To give is to make room to receive. It is amazing how we feel about running out of things. We fear that we won't have enough to do what we wish. Well, this proverb shows us that withholding leads to poverty. In fact, if you find yourself approaching scarcity in your life, either because you have given too much or you just did not have it from the start, begin to praise God! That means you are in a perfect position to have God pour into you. There is nothing like being empty and suddenly being filled. God calls us to give continually not just to bless other people. God also calls us to give in order to make room for the blessing God has in store for those who give. Can one receive where there is no room? How much room have we reserved for God to pour into us?

TODAY's WISDOM: MAKE ROOM FOR GOD!

***these two scriptures are just food for thought...you know something you can put on an away message

2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.

13 A gossip betrays a confidence,
but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.

Be BlessedCharles
