Day 256 Cassie McClellan | Proverbs 21:25-27

Send us Fan MailCassie McClellan 25 Despite their desires, the lazy will come to ruin,     for their hands refuse to work.26 Some people are always greedy for more,     but the godly love to give!27 The sacrifice of an evil person is detestable,     especially when it is offered with wrong motives.The first proverb was especially true in the past, when the proverb was written. Back then, if someone was too lazy to work, there was no safety net.. no social programs… they could end up starving.Verse 26 compares greed with righteousness. Righteous people are generous, while greedy people only want more for themselves.Verse 27 reminds us that our motivation matters. For example, the Bible tells us to give 10% of our income (a tithe), but if we do it with a bad attitude or just to impress others, it doesn’t please God. Giving grudgingly doesn’t earn us any favor with Him.Think about this: Is giving 10% of your income cheerfully too hard? How about 5%? Or even 1%? If that’s still too much, maybe start with giving your spare change cheerfully. Remember though, that is an offering. God requires the tithe and to not tithe, is the same as stealing from God.If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth.
