You Have Something
You Have Something
And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness [which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity]. Thus you will be enriched in all things and in every way, so that you can be generous, and [your generosity as it is] administered by us will bring forth thanksgiving to God. —2 Corinthians 9:10–11 Notice that our woman in Proverbs 31 reached out her filled hands to the needy (v. 20). When a person truly wants to give, God will give seed to sow. Even if you don’t have extra money to give, you do have something. Look around your house and start giving away everything that you are not using or wearing. If an article of clothing has been in your closet one year without being moved, there is a good chance you will never wear it again. Pass it on to someone in need and God will bless you with new things as you need them. I believe that we know giving is the right thing to do. In our hearts we can sense joy and confidence when we become givers and not merely takers. It is no wonder I did not like this woman in Proverbs 31 when I first started reading about her. She was everything I was not but needed to become. Lord, I truly want to be a giving person. I ask Your blessing that I might meet the needs of others, whatever they might be. Amen. From the book The Confident Woman Devotional: 365 Daily Devotions by Joyce Meyer.
