When God says...
“There is desirable treasure, And oil in the dwelling of the wise, But a foolish man squanders it.” (Proverbs 21:20 NKJV)
Here's a pop up alert about wise stewardship. In a house where God’s wisdom rules exceeding resources abound. That home shines bright each night, burning light with oil. While, in a dwelling where there is lack, with the conspicuous absence of light in the night, tells of a fool whose resources are squandered. No oil. Hence, there is no lamp burning. The essentials, and of course the treasures of life, are missing.
For those who are wise who rest totally dependent in Christ Jesus by faith, nothing is wasted. Nothing is squandered. They sow as a farmer in their generosity for continuous harvest every season. Cheerful giving is the key which they hold on.
In sowing, by those who rest in grace through faith in Christ Jesus, abundant resources are supplied as seeds for increasing harvest of righteousness. It is written: “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written, “He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.” He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.” (2 Corinthians 9:6-11 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
