April 8 – Give Yourself to God First

In today’s episode, Pastor Brandon Dirmann shares a devotion from 2 Corinthians 8, focusing on the order of true generosity. Before the Macedonian believers gave their resources, Paul notes that they first gave themselves to the Lord. This message reminds listeners that whether we are giving our finances, time, energy, or serving others, the heart behind it matters most. When our giving is first an act of worship between us and God, it protects our hearts from bitterness, resentment, and misplaced frustration. This episode encourages listeners to reexamine their motives and remember that every act of generosity flows best from a life first surrendered to the Lord.Today’s Reading:April 8 – 1 Samuel 9–12; 2 Corinthians 8
