Luke 6:38
Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. This verse from Luke 6:38 teaches the principle of generosity. When we give, God promises that He will bless us abundantly in return. In business and in life, generosity is a key to prosperity. Birthdays offer a chance to reflect on the generosity of others and to consider how we can be more giving with our time, talents, and resources. The measure with which we give is the measure that we will receive. God loves a cheerful giver, and when we give freely, He blesses us in ways that go beyond material wealth. Generosity builds relationships, strengthens communities, and reflects the heart of God. Let us commit to being generous, knowing that in doing so, we open ourselves to receiving God’s abundant blessings.
Ecclesiastes 5:10
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
Proverbs 22:1
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
Proverbs 13:11
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Proverbs 15:16
Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
