This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. (2 Corinthians 6:12)

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15
Song: "Goodness of God"

A California man was driving down the highway when he saw a man begging. Remembering he'd been given extra cash in a card and feeling prompted by the Holy Spirit, he decided to give. He opened the card, which contained $100 bills. He took one, pulled over in the lane by the man, and told him, "Take this before someone honks at me." Looking in his rearview mirror as he drove away, he saw the man stunned and mouthing the words, "Thank God."

When we obey and give, God can be praised. Whether it be a simple roadside transaction or a contribution to a big ministry, God is glorified in our act. Paul wanted the Corinthians to understand that when they gave, it resulted in praise to God.

God has been good to us, and we enjoy His blessings every day. Because we are blessed, we get to be a blessing to others. We know we are to give generously, but we need to remember that giving is impactful. It affects the lives of those to whom we give. It is good for us, and it brings glory and thanks to God. May our giving create a chorus of praise to God.

Father, thank You for the opportunity I have to give. May my giving point to Your goodness and bring You praise. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
