AND FINALLY...
What is the final verse which I mentioned at the beginning of this study? It is in Proverbs 11 vv 24,25:
“There is that scattereth, (gives, gives, gives) and yet increaseth;”
You may say that you do not follow this. But it is the way of the Lord’s blessing. The more you give, the more you will have to give. That is how the Lord works - give and it shall be given unto you.
“... and there is that withholdeth (keeps it to himself) more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.”
This is the one who saves and stores up wealth for himself but he never has anything. That is what I have said. Christians who are ‘stingy’ in their giving and give grudgingly never seem to have enough. They always seem to be out of money. They never have enough to meet their needs.
“The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.”
And so it is with the faithful believer, who, though he never seems to have much, is always giving, and yet never seems to be in want.
Let us give of a free will, with free hearts. Let us give first, not last. Let us just give and give and give. Praise the Lord!
