November 24- Do Good, be Rich in Good Works, be Generous, be Willing to Communicate Verse- Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and willing to communicate. 1 Timothy 6:17-18 Today we will look more in depth at what we are to do with our riches that God gives us. Today’s verse 1 Timothy 6:17-18 reminds us of four important things. First those who are blessed with much are to “do good”. This means to do works that are good, beneficial, excellent, profitable or helpful to others. The second part is to “be rich in good works”. This means those individuals are to perform actions that leave another person better off than before. The third part says “be generous”. This means those who are financially blessed should be stoked, thrilled and ecstatic about every opportunity to give. They should constantly seek it! The fourth and final part is, “willing to communicate”. This means those that have much are to be known for giving and sharing what they own. The world tells us to take care of ourselves and not worry about other people. You and your faith would stand out like a sore thumb if you follow these four commands Today do these four things! Questions- 1. How should you respond to what you have read in today’s daily devotional? What new truths did you learn about the attitude you should have in your giving? 2. Would you describe yourself as a champion giver, or would you have to honestly say that you need to increase in your giving? Do you live to give, or do you give only when you feel like the Spirit of God is twisting your arm to do it? 3. When you do finally decide to give to a church, ministry, or organization, do you give regularly and faithfully so you can help make that organization more sound and healthy?
