"But
good people will be generous to others and will be blessed for all they
do."
Isaiah
32:8 (NLT)
God is
good. He is also very generous. As His children, we should have His
characteristics. We should be good. We should also be generous to others. If we
are, His Word tells us that we will be blessed for all that we do. The NKJV says
that "a generous man devises generous things, and by generosity he shall stand."
Ponder that for a moment. "[A] generous man devises generous things." This means
they are generous and they are constantly thinking on the Lord and devising
different ways for them to be generous. It goes on to say "and by generosity he
shall stand." Their generosity helps them to stand. May we make it a point to
be good and generous, just like our heavenly Father is. We will not only be
taking after Him, we will also be blessed in all that we do. 1 Corinthians 10:31
says "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the
glory of God." May this be our motto today.
Father, You are good. You are generous. You have
made us in Your image and we want to take after You. We want to be good men and
women of God. We want to be generous. Help us to devise different ways that we
can be generous. Whatever we do, may we do it all to the glory of God. In Jesus'
name we pray. Amen.
