“A good man deals graciously and lends.”
Psalm 112:5a
God blesses those that are His. He
is gracious with us. We are to be gracious when dealing with others. We are to
be good men and woman, just like He is. His very characteristics should become
ours. God blesses us with many different things. He doesn’t just bless us with
them for us to enjoy. He blesses us with them so that we can share them with
others. His Word even tells us that He is a lender and that He lends. Have you
ever thought of that? I have known God for a long, long time. I know that He has
always been a good God. I know that it pleases Him to give good gifts to His
children, but I hadn’t thought about Him being a “lender.” Psalm 37:26 says “He
is ever merciful, and lends.” If He lends, shouldn’t we lend to others? Luke
6:35 instructs us by telling us to “do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in
return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.”
Be thankful today for all the many blessings God has given you. Ask God for
different ways that you can “lend” what you have with others so that they can
see the love of God flowing through you. What you share with them will be a
blessing to them. Who knows, God may give you more if you are faithful to share
what He has given you now.
Father, may we deal graciously with others and lend. May we
hope for nothing in return. We thank you that our reward will be great and that
we will be sons of the Most High. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
