It’s Day 30 of the Lent, A Closer Walk with God 40-Day Devotion.
DEVOTION
The word “giving” means different things to different people.
A mother may say, “I give my love to my children.”
A husband may say, “I give my love to my wife.”
The person next to you in church might say “I give my tithes to the church.”
But giving can also be an act of worship.
In the Scriptures, the idea of giving to God is a profound expression of your faith, gratitude and obedience to Him.
When we give, it should be generous and sacrificial. Not because God needs anything, but because we want to show our love for Him.
God seeks out and acknowledges those who worship him. His love is timeless and never-ending.
Make sure your heart is filled with joy so that when you give as an act of worship, you will be ready to receive all of God’s blessings that are intended for you.
PRAYER
Lord, I give you praise and thanks for who you are, and for all that you do for me. Please help me to give with joy in my heart and to be a blessing to others. Amen.
