Is God generous or stingy?
September 26, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
James 1:5 tells us that if we lack wisdom, we are to ask God. Let me tell you what that literally means: If you lack wisdom, ask of the “giving” God. Have you thought of God as the “giving” God?
ACTION POINT:
What does it mean to you that God yearns to pour out His blessing upon you? Do you say to yourself, “Oh goodie—let me see what I can get from God”?
Or does it humble you that the Almighty God who created the air you breathe, the ground you walk upon, and the body you are draped in…this God loves you and wants to bless you? I pray it is the latter, for that is the heart of a child of God.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
