Givers and Takers

A two minute read for busy professionals to start their day (Monday-Friday) with something positive, inspiring and thought provoking. 

Some people in life are ‘givers’ and some are ‘takers’. According to David in Psalm 37:21-31, this is a key difference between the ‘righteous’ and the ‘wicked’: ‘The wicked borrows and never returns; Righteous gives and gives. Generous gets it all in the end’ (vv.21–22a, MSG).

Generosity is not an occasional act; it is a way of life. The generous are ‘always generous and lend freely’ (v.26). The Lord delights in those who live like this (v.23). You may have problems and stumble but you will not fall (v.24). God’s promise is to bless you and your children (vv.25–26).

The Bible gives us story after story of Gods people when following His plan of generous giving to the poor, and needy, they find their own needs met in times of difficulty. God’s plan for us is that we uphold one another by ‘[giving] generously’ (v.21). 

Today, take every opportunity to give generously and you will experience the fullness of God’s blessing…
