GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
DAILY DEVOTIONAL
BLESSED FOR GENEROSITY
READ DEUTERONOMY 22:1 THROUGH 24:22
The Sea of Galilee, Israel’s largest freshwater lake, has supported commercial fishing for over two thousand years. Conversely, the Dead Sea has such a high salt concentration that no fish can live in its waters.
Why the difference between the two? The Sea of Galilee takes in water from the Jordan River and also flows back into the Jordan. On the other hand, the Dead Sea receives water from the Jordan but has no outlet. It takes, but it doesn’t give back.
“When you are harvesting your crops and forget to bring in a bundle of grain from your field, don’t go back to get it. Leave it for the foreigners, orphans, and widows. Then the Lord your God will bless you in all you do” (Deuteronomy 24:19).
God instructed His people to extend His goodness to those lacking basic needs. In other words, they were not only to be “takers” of His blessings but “givers” as well. As God’s people live a generous lifestyle, He promises to bless everything they do, which enables them to give even more.
Challenge for Today: What has God given you that you can give others?
Quicklook: Deuteronomy 24:19–22
