Exodus: Generosity

Throughout the past few chapters of Exodus, giving has been an overarching topic given, God is commanding the Israelites to build alters, the tabernacle, garments, and in this chapter, incense for him. But when you think about it, all of this belongs to God in the first place. Everything we're given, everything we have and have been blessed with was given from above. If you take a simple moment to just stop and look around at everything you have, you'll realize how wealthy we are.

God has given us so much already, but how generous are we? Are we willing to give back to God after he's given us everything? We're called to tithe, and give ten percent of what we earn, but do we do so? God was generous enough to give up his son for us. What are we going to give back?

We can give anything and everything back to God. Our service, whether if you serve as an usher, or a play on a worship team, our talents can be given back. We can also give money, when we offer it back to the church, its used to expand the kingdom of God, to help the missionaries, there are so many places your money could be used to build up God's kingdom.

What will you give back to God?

verse of the day: Deuteronomy 15:10

¹⁰ Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.
