Key Verse: Verse 17 - “Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.”
Giving is a vital part in our worship of God. I am convinced that there is no genuine worship of God when one fails to give.
One of the first things that Ezra taught the people after the rebuilding of the temple was the importance of giving. (See Nehemiah 10:34-39.)
Dr. R. E. Neighbour was in the baptismal pool with a railway engineer. The pastor was ready to proceed with the baptismal service. "Wait!" whispered the engineer; "I forgot something. I want to return to the robing room, and get my pocketbook and let you baptize it with me!" Oh, that more of our pocketbooks were "baptized." O, that more of God's children were taking with seriousness their financial responsibilities to God's work!
Let me close by giving you a “Rouseism”….where your “pleasure” is, there will be your treasure also.
What to do:
✞Truly believe that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
