Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita -- God Loves a Cheerful Giver

God Loves a Cheerful Giver
Today's Devotional Reading: Psalm 124; 2 Cor 11-13
November 18, 2009

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give. Don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves the person who gives cheerfully." (2 Corinthians 9:7)

TODAY'S WORD

Giving is not a decision that should come from your head, it should come from your heart-where the Lord speaks to you. The Bible encourages each person to give "what he decides in his heart."

Let me encourage you to seek the Lord and follow the instructions He gives to your heart. God uses His people to advance the Kingdom in this generation, and generations to come.

We believe God has great things in store for you! He is using you to make a real difference and that's exciting! When you give to the best of your ability-and are truly eager to give-you can make an impact in your community and help take the gospel of Christ to the nations.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

God, I want to be a cheerful giver. Please help me to be mindful of the fact that all I have is Yours. It is an awesome honor and responsibility to be able to share Your Word with the world. Speak to my heart and help me decide what I can give back to You. In Jesus' name - Amen.

We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
