You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.  2 Corinthians 9:11

It is certainly clear that a person never hurts themselves by giving to the Lord! He tells us here that we will receive certain rewards for living in obedience to God’s Word. Every act of kindness has a reflex action. This is not just speaking of money, it covers many areas of our lives. Notice it says that we will be made rich in every way. The Lord will bless our lives in good relationships with people, good jobs, fruitful churches, and He will bless our ministry to Him! God promises multiple times in His Word that all our needs will be met, not all our “wants”, but all our essentials (Philippians 4:19, Matt. 6:33, Philippians 4:6). He is a good and loving Parent who cares tenderly for His children (Matt. 7:9)!

Father, thank you for providing me with so many blessings. May my use of your riches bring you glory and bring others a true and genuine blessing that will touch their hearts with your grace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
