“When David came to Ziklag, he sent part of the spoil to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, “Here is a gift to you from the spoil of the enemies of the Lord”: to those who were in Bethel, in Ramoth of the Negev, and in Jattir; to those who were in Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa, and in Rakal; to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites and the Kenites; to those who were in Hormah, Bor Ashan, Athak and in Hebron; and to those who were in all the other places where David and his men had roamed.”

Generous
Do you find it easy to share what you have with others?
When things are difficult for you, do you still find it easy to give?
David understood that everything he had was because God is generous and loving.
Greed and jealousy sneak into our lives when we take our eyes off of Jesus as our generous provider.
With God there is always more than enough.
Action Step
Consider your motives for giving or holding back.
Are you acting out of fear that you won’t have enough? ( God always provides)
Maybe you are holding back for fear the receiver will be irresponsible with your gift.
God doesn’t require us to judge the receiver, that’s His job.)
God is always generous.
Ask Him to help you follow in His footsteps.
