What We’re Given Guides Our Giving (1 Chronicles 29:1-2, 10-18)

SERIES: Cause and EffectBefore we buy something, we assess whether or not we are willing to pay the asking price. If it seems reasonable to us, we may decide to make the purchase. If it seems overpriced, we likely won’t buy it.When we give gifts back to God through our offerings, it doesn’t work the same way. We don’t focus on the amount of the gift without taking an assessment of what we’ve been given first. When we do that, we see how generously God provides not only for our needs, but even our wants. When we do that, we see how generously God provides not only our physical blessings, but even more so our spiritual ones. We have all that we need - and then some! - in and through Jesus Christ. How then can we help but give back to God according to his own generosity to us?
