Consider!

Psalm 41: 1 - 2

1Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;

² the Lord protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land...

During the entire month of January, I taught from the Bible to our church about giving God our best.

The Bible has a lot to say about generosity and money.

I’m sure there were times when my church friends thought I was a little mixed up between the ears while I preached.

I mean, 4 weeks on giving!?!? The “mixed up” part of that previous sentence bares some discussion.

In any event, we took a First Fruit offering on Sunday, February 14^th.

What better date to bring God the fullness of our hearts, than on Valentine’s Day.

It seemed like an appropriate day, but shouldn’t we bring God our best, every day?

Do you bring God your best? Do you serve Him with a full heart?

On any given Sunday, our offerings range between $3,500.00 and $4,000.00.

The people responded, and the offering we brought to God was just short of $22,000.00

Now you’re going to think this is crazy, but we want to give some of what we brought to God, away.

We’re not going to put it in the bank for rainy day, we’re going to sow more seed.

Blessed is the one who considers the poor.

We understand, that in the day of trouble, God will deliver us, although that’s never been our motive to give.

Actually, He’s worth every penny, and then some...
