Day 4: A Generous Life Is a Full Life
Reading: Proverbs 11:24-25
Devotional: Proverbs 11:25 contains a promise that runs against the logic of accumulation: a generous person will be made rich, and whoever satisfies others will himself be satisfied. The world tells us that holding tightly to what we have is the path to security. Scripture tells us the opposite. When we open our hands, God fills them again. Generosity breaks the grip that stuff has on our hearts. It reorients us toward people rather than possessions, toward eternity rather than comfort. Consider one practical way today to loosen your grip on something you have been holding too tightly, and give it away.
