“Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.” (Deut. 15:10)

The Generous Recycler

An auto recycler once shared how he built his reputation not just on good parts but on good will. When customers came looking for something small—a bolt, clip, or hose—he’d often say, “Just take it, no charge.”

Years later, that same generosity kept paying dividends. People remembered him. They sent their friends, referred their body shops, and returned again and again. His giving spirit became the best marketing tool he ever had.

Generosity always multiplies

What you give out of kindness and faith never leaves your life—it simply returns in a different form, pressed down, shaken together, and running over!

“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.” (Luke 6:38)

The Principle of Scattering

“There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more, and there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want. The generous man will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered.” (Proverbs 11:24–25)

The one who “scatters” increases all the more

That means when you sow generously—your time, your money, your wisdom, your help—God multiplies what you gave away. When you withhold, you actually shrink your own capacity to receive.

It’s not about giving to get

It’s about giving because God gave first. He promises to refill every giver’s hand so they can keep blessing others.

What to do

1. Give freely. When you see a need, meet it. Bless someone without expecting anything in return.

2. Give cheerfully. God loves a giver who gives with joy, not obligation.

3. Give from the heart. Give in proportion to how God has blessed you. (Deut. 16:17)

4. Give continually. Make generosity part of your business culture—something your employees, vendors, and customers recognize as who you are.

Therefore

Generosity is one of the greatest ways to reflect God’s heart in your business and life. When you give freely, you open the door for God to bless you abundantly—in relationships, in opportunity, and even in resources.

So, keep scattering good seed! Whether it’s a kind word, a fair deal, or a helping hand, every act of generosity plants something eternal that will come back to you multiplied.

“The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” (Proverbs 22:9)

“Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” (1 Cor. 6:9–11)

The Miracle in a Salvage Yard

A man once took a rusted, dented car to a salvage yard just to get rid of it. The car was so corroded that it looked completely worthless to him. But the owner of the yard said, “I see something in this one. Let’s restore it.”

After weeks of work—cleaning, rebuilding, sanding, painting, and replacing parts—it rolled out of the shop looking brand new. You’d never believe it was the same car.

That’s what God does with broken lives!

He doesn’t just throw them away—He redeems, restores, and recycles them into something brand new and beautiful.

God Has the Power to Change Anyone

Paul listed some of the darkest human sins in this passage—not to condemn forever, but to show how far God’s grace can reach. Notice the past tense: “That is what some of you were.”

No one is beyond the reach of God’s cleansing power. When Jesus enters a life, He doesn’t just clean up the outside—He changes the heart, washes away sin, and makes you brand new.

Washed, Sanctified, and Justified

• Washed — Your sins are gone; you’ve been cleansed by the blood of Jesus.

• Sanctified — You’ve been set apart for God’s purpose, no longer living under the old identity.

• Justified — You now stand innocent before God, not because of what you’ve done, but because of what Jesus did for you.

What to do

1. Remember who you were—and who you are now. You’re no longer defined by your past mistakes.

2. Walk in your new identity. Live as one who has been cleansed and set apart by God.

3. Share your story. Someone else needs to hear how God’s grace transformed you.

4. Refuse to condemn others. The same grace that washed you can wash anyone.

Therefore

Don’t let shame or guilt from your past follow you into today. You’ve been washed! You are no longer who you once were. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now lives in you, empowering you to walk in newness of life.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Cor. 5:17)

“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)

Limitless Generosity

A little boy once visited his grandfather’s farm for the weekend. Each morning they’d walk together to the barn where the grandfather would reach into a burlap sack filled with candy and let the boy take a handful.

But the boy’s small hand could only hold a few pieces at a time. Then the grandfather laughed and said, “Let me help you, son.” He reached in with his own big hand and poured an overflowing amount into the boy’s pockets.

That’s how our Heavenly Father gives—not with our limited capacity, but with His limitless generosity!

God’s Generous Heart

Jesus wants us to understand that the Father delights in giving, not reluctantly but joyfully. He doesn’t just give us forgiveness and salvation; He gives us the entire kingdom—His presence, His power, His promises, and His provision.

Like the father in the story of the prodigal son, God reminds you, “All that I have is yours.” Everything He possesses is available to you through faith in Christ.

“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.’” (Luke 15:31)

What to do

1. Ask Boldly. Don’t hesitate to come to your Father with confidence. (Hebrews 4:16)

2. Receive Thankfully. Recognize that every blessing—spiritual, emotional, or material—comes from His loving hand. (James 1:17)

3. Share Generously. Reflect your Father’s heart by giving freely to others, knowing you can never outgive God. (2 Cor. 9:8)

4. Live as an Heir. Walk each day with the awareness that you are a child of the King, already blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. (Eph. 1:3)

Therefore

Since your Father delights in giving you His very best, stop living as though you’re poor or forgotten. Lift your head high and live in the fullness of His provision. The Kingdom isn’t something you must earn—it’s a gift from your generous Father!

“He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32)

“Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.’” (Matt. 25:34)

“He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.”(Psalm 146:7)

He Knows What You Need!

“Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ The people who don’t know God keep trying to get these things, and your Father in heaven knows you need them.” (Matt. 6:31–32)

God Faithfully Provides

Have you ever watched a bird early in the morning? It doesn’t rush around, stress out, or check its savings account. It simply sings and searches, confident that God will provide its daily food. Jesus pointed to that very picture to remind us that if God faithfully cares for the birds, how much more will He take care of His children!

God already knows what you need before you ask. He’s not limited by the economy, your income, or your circumstances. His resources are infinite, and His timing is perfect.

He Won’t Let You Starve!

“The LORD will not allow a righteous person to starve.” (Prov. 10:3)

“For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” (Psalm 107:9)

Seek God First — It’s the Key!

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need.” (Luke 12:31)

He Supplies According to His Riches!

“And my God will fully supply your every need according to His glorious riches in the Messiah Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19)

He Gives You More So You Can Give More!

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.” (2 Cor. 9:8)

Therefore

Don’t let worry rob you of peace. Trust the One who feeds the birds, clothes the fields, and never forgets His children. God’s supply never runs dry, and His grace never runs out.

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:8)

Trust What Never Fails

In today’s world, advice is everywhere—books, podcasts, social media, and so-called “experts” offering strategies for success. But human wisdom changes constantly, while God’s Word never changes. It remains steady, sure, and true in every generation. When everything else shifts, the Bible stands firm.

The Apostle Peter called Scripture “a more sure word,” describing it as “a light that shines in a dark place.” (2 Peter 1:19)

God’s Word doesn’t flicker or fade—it reveals truth, exposes error, and lights the way when the path ahead seems uncertain.

It Will Make Your Way Prosperous with Success!

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” (Joshua 1:8)

When you make Scripture your guidebook—not just something you read occasionally but something you live by—God Himself promises to prosper your way and give you success that lasts.

Therefore

Don’t build your life on shifting opinions or statistics—build it on the unshakable Word of God. It’s more certain than any forecast, more powerful than any plan, and more enduring than any human idea.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105)

“Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death and of faith in God, instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.” (Hebrews 6:1–2)

Grow Up in Faith and Maturity

Every student begins by learning the basics—reading, writing, and arithmetic. But if they never go beyond those elementary lessons, they’ll never reach their full potential. Growth comes from building on what you’ve learned, applying it, and moving forward. The same is true in your spiritual life. God doesn’t want you to stay where you started; He wants you to grow up in faith and maturity.

Grow Up in All Aspects of God!

“But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ.” (Eph. 4:15)

Walk Worthy of the Lord and Bear Fruit!

“So that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” (Colossians 1:10)

Grow in Respect to Salvation!

“Like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation.” (1 Peter 2:2)

Grow in Both Grace and Knowledge of Jesus!

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18)

Therefore

Spiritual maturity doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by intention. Keep learning, keep growing, and keep walking closely with God. His Word will guide you from spiritual infancy to maturity, equipping you for every good work.

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:16–17)

To Work with Excellence

When you buy a complex piece of equipment—like a new appliance or piece of technology—it always comes with a manual. The manufacturer includes it because they know how the product was designed to function. If you ignore the instructions, you’ll end up frustrated and possibly damaging something that was meant to work beautifully.

The Bible is your divine instruction manual. It was written by men, but inspired—God-breathed—by the Creator Himself. It teaches, corrects, and equips you to live with purpose and effectiveness. When you follow it, you’ll find that life works the way God intended.

Do God’s work wholeheartedly!

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Col. 3:23)

God’s favor establishes your efforts!

“May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.” (Psalm 90:17)

Therefore

The Word of God is not just information—it’s transformation! Open it daily, apply its truths, and let it equip you for every good work God has designed for your life.

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you.

Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1 Cor. 15:58)

A gardener can spend months watering, weeding, and waiting before seeing any sign of growth. The work can feel endless and unrewarding—until one morning, small green shoots appear through the soil. That’s when all the effort suddenly feels worth it. In the same way, when you serve God faithfully, even when no one notices, He sees every act of love, every prayer, and every effort done for His glory. Nothing done for the Lord is ever wasted!

Sometimes it can be tiring doing the right thing, especially when so many around you are not. It’s no longer popular to live according to God’s standards. But that’s not a new problem.

Elijah once complained to the Lord, “I am the only one who has remained faithful!” (1 Kings 19:10). But God quickly corrected him, revealing that 7,000 others had also remained faithful. That must have been a great encouragement for Elijah to hear—and it should be for us, too.

You are not alone! God still has many faithful followers today. So be encouraged, stay steady, and don’t quit.

At the proper time, we will reap a harvest!

Therefore

Keep doing good, even when it feels unnoticed or unrewarded. God sees your labor, your faithfulness, and your perseverance—and He promises that your work for Him will never be in vain!

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Gal. 6:9)

“Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised. (Rom. 4:19–21)

From Impossible to Possible

A potter begins with a lump of clay that, to most people, looks shapeless and unremarkable. But in the hands of a skilled craftsman, that same clay becomes a beautiful, useful vessel. What others might see as worthless, the potter sees as full of potential. The difference lies in the vision and the hands that shape it.

In a Similar Way

God is not limited by your limitations! When you face something that looks impossible—an illness, a strained relationship, a financial setback, or a dream that feels too far gone—remember Abraham and Sarah. Their situation was humanly impossible, yet Abraham didn’t give up. He trusted that God was able to do exactly what He promised. And God did!

Therefore

Don’t let your circumstances define your faith. Choose instead to let your faith define your circumstances. What seems impossible to you is completely possible with God!

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.” (Eph. 3:20)
