give pt.3
"For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out."-romans 7:18
i have been pressing that we have a command from Gods word to give, but to be completely honest this is how i feel. i have a desire to give but i am so lacking in faith that i still struggle with it. my sin takes over and i believe the lie that since i have bills to pay i am exempt from this biblical command.
"Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but whoever hides his eyes will get many a curse."-proverbs 28:26,27
it is such a lie that in giving i will be losing anything. it is purely gain. it is actually the most logical thing to do. if i give, i will not want. if i dont, i will be cursed.
"Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed."-proverbs 19:17
when will i stop believing the deceitful lies of my sin? it is for my good that i give so more will be given. the blessings of God are so rich that i would be a fool not to give.
