Got is a giver! He enriches in every way!

“You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.” (2 Cor. 9:11 ESV)

Enriched = Generosity = Thanksgiving to God

In today’s promises verse, shown above, are three important things to understand about riches: 1) you will be enriched in every way, 2) the reason for being enriched in every way is so you can be generous in every way, and finally, 3) riches are to produce thanksgiving to God.

He gives power to get wealth

“You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” (Deut. 8:18 ESV)

Seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matt. 6:33 ESV)

Reward for humility and fear of the Lord

“The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.” (Prov. 22:4 ESV)

Therefore…

“As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share.” (1 Tim. 6:18-18 ESV)

Finally, choose wisely

“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.” (Prov. 22:1 ESV)
