Sowing Sparingly

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

Observation: I sow sparingly, unfortunately. I only give out of my abundance, what I feel I should give. I’m obedient with giving my tithe and some of my time to honor God, but in comparison to his love and grace I’m a miser. God has given me so much I wonder what would happen if I gave generously, the harvest I would reap.

Application: I need to sow generously in the field that God has given me, not for personal gain, but to be obedient to my Father. There is so much to do and God has given me so much. It’s time to sow generously for my Lord.

Prayer: Dear God I am selfish and always have been. Help me give what honors you and to be this man you call me to be. May this life bless you this day as I touch the life of one of your children.
