Exodus 29:38-30:10; Psalm 78:1-31; Acts 17:16-34
God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work …being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 2 Corinthians 9:8, 11
It has been well said that we can never outgive God, but many of us are slow to learn and prove it. The magnitude of our giving should be marked by liberality (2 Cor. 9:6), and the manner of our giving should be “cheerful” and willing (v. 7). The motive behind our giving should be that thanksgiving will arise to God from the full hearts of those our giving has blessed (v. 11). —Phil Coulson
Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
That I might ransomed be,
Thy life was given for me;
What have I given for Thee? —Frances R Havergal
