Today's Scripture *February 11, 2009*
Ezra 2: 68-69
When they arrived at the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, some of the family leaders made voluntary offerings toward the rebuilding of God’s Temple on its original site, 69 and each leader gave as much as he could. The total of their gifts came to 61,000 gold coins, 6,250 pounds of silver, and 100 robes for the priests.
As the Temple reconstruction progressed, everyone contributed free will offerings according to his or her ability. Some were able to give huge gifts and did so generously. Everyone's effort and cooperation were required, and the people gave as much as they could. Often we limit our giving to ten percent of our income. The Bible however, emphasizes that we should give from the heart all that we are able. 2 Corinthians 8:12 Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don't have. ; 2 Corinthians 9:6 Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.
Let your gift be dedicated to God's call to give generously, not by the amount you have left over.
Father God, help us to give out of the abundance of our hearts, all we have to offer You.
May we give of our time, effort, energy, gifting's, and finances. You desire a cheerful giver--help us to be cheerful in all that we give to You.Thank You for loving us and taking such good care of Your people! In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Have a blessed mid-week!
