Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
Giving is about Attitude
“Amaziah did
what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight, but not whole-heartedly.”
2Ch 25:2 NLT
Today’s Insight
Today’s Insight
6 days away to Christmas and I believe
Christmas is about giving because God is the one Who first gave His Son Jesus Christ.
The Bible says while we were still sinners Jesus died for us in order to pay the
penalty of our sins and this is Good News somebody paid the price instead us will
pay the price and God’s purpose is to save us from eternal destruction and to
receive eternal life.
Let’s talk about King Amaziah did all the
right things, but he wasn’t “wholehearted” about it. You can do the right thing and still not be blessed. Why?
Because you did it with the wrong
attitude. Take, for example, the subject of giving. The apostle
Paul writes: “I want each of you to take plenty of time to think it over, and
make up your own mind what you will give. That will protect you against sob
stories and arm-twisting. God loves it when the giver delights in the giving.
God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for
anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. As
one psalmist puts it, ‘He throws caution to the winds, giving to the needy in
reckless abandon. His right-living, right-giving ways never run out, never wear
out.’ This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread
for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you
can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy
in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing…great praise
to God” (2Co 9:6-11 TM). Note two
things:
(1) Your level of giving determines the level at which
you receive.
(2) Your attitude in giving determines your abundance in
receiving.
Application
So when you “make up your…mind what you will
give,” consider God’s goodness to you, decide what you should give, and do it
with a heart of joy. Giving It’s all about attitude!
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word Today. Lord thank you for giving me the gift of
giving. Lord thank you that you put into my heart to always give generously because
You are our model in the first place. Lord when you were on earth you first
gave yourself to us as a ransom for many that many will be saved. Lord teaches
us to be generous giver always on whatever circumstances or situation we are
now put into our heart to consider others before ourselves so that they will see
You through us that you are a definite giver and mindful in our needs for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you
into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior, In Jesus Name! Amen. If you mean
that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s
Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but
you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order for you to
grow in your faith with God please do these consistently starting today; 1.

Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible Study, Church Seminars and make God first place in
your life with your talents and finances 5. Lastly, witness Jesus to others
