2 Corinthians 9:6
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
In this verse, God is dealing with how we give. He sees it like a farmer sowing a field. The money you give to God’s Kingdom work is like a seed. Too often, we think of giving as though the money is gone, lost forever. But that’s not how we see an investment. I think you’d stop investing pretty quickly if you never expected a return. When we give to God’s work there is always a good return.
When we give to God’s work, we are asking God to take this meager sum and do something with it, just like when we hand money to an investment banker. What can He do with it? He’s asking you if you want to give a little, and see a little return, or if you want to sow a lot and watch something big happen. How impactful do you want to be for God’s Kingdom?
Prayer prompt: Lord, give me excitement and imagination when I think about how You will use my Kingdom investment.
