Some teachings in the Bible are hard to understand. I’m not necessarily referring to Paul’s long lines of logic, the furious beasts of Revelation, or the prophet Jeremiah’s strange activities. I’m stumped by the “Law of Generosity.”
Proverbs 11:24 can be difficult to comprehend: “There is one who scatters, yet increases more; / And there is one who withholds more than is right, / But it leads to poverty” (NKJV). I’m not used to that kind of exchange. At the store I get what I pay for. At the bank I withdraw only what I deposited. And the quickest way I know to become bankrupt is to give away what I have. And the rich? They’ve learned to hold onto what they have.
This morning I’m looking for an explanation of the law of generosity. But, like many of the laws that govern God’s world, maybe I can understand it best through experience. I invite you to experience these blessed results that God has promised in His Word. As we give to support the ministry of our conference today, let us each determine to practice the law of generosity.
