Making a Giving

I recently heard a minister say that he doesn’t make a living, he makes a giving. It can be so easy to take the responsibility of raising kids, paying the bills, saving for vacation, Christmas, retirement, the list goes on. That list will actually go on for as long as you take the time to think about that list. 

In Genesis 8:22 it reads: “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Sowing and reaping is a principle that will last as long as the earth, in all areas: physically, spiritually, financially.

Identify the issues you are facing. Are you stressed a lot lately? Perhaps you can take some time to sow into someone’s life, or the church, or the local community outreach. By sowing time into enriching someone else’s life, you will reap rewards in your own life. 

Do you feel like you’re in the worst physical shape of your life? Perhaps you could research a good starting plan for walking/running, or doing a few at-home exercises. By sowing into your physical shape, you will reap the rewards and gain a healthier body. Of course the same is true financially. Seed, time, harvest.. Paul said in Galatians 6:7 (KJV) “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

If we will renew our minds on the Word of God concerning our role in His provision, I believe we will be taken to new heights in all areas of our lives. As we endeavor to sow more, and remove the false responsibility that we are to provide for ourselves, God’s hands will be freed to work on our behalf!
