Sowing and Reaping‘...He has scattered abroad His gifts to the

poor...’ 2 Corinthians 9:9 NIV

Giving, particularly when you’re young, can be tough to do. As little kids we don’t need to give, we just demand everything we want or need and most of the time we get it. But where’s that changeover point? At what age do we stop demanding our rights from our parents and start to think about what we can give to others? It’s interesting that the Bible doesn’t seem to think it is an age thing. It simply tells us we should give; especially to the poorest of the poor.

‘He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.’ At first you may wonder what on earth that’s about. A lot! God is totally committed to loving and healing a hurting world, and the most exciting part is He’s got a part for us to play in that plan. God’s concerned about the poor and making sure everyone gets a chance to hear the amazing news of the Gospel. And He has chosen you to be a part of His strategy to take care of this messed-up world! What an opportunity! Can you really believe God doesn’t want to just do it all Himself, He wants to partner with you?

So think today about what part God wants you to play. Think you have no cash? How about running a sponsored event to do what you can. There are a thousand great causes to give to - there’s one where He especially wants your partnership. Just ask Him which it is.
