我不從你家中取公牛,也不從你圈內取山羊。因為樹林中的百獸是我的,千山上的牲畜也是我的。山中的飛鳥,我都知道;野地的走獸,也都屬我。我若是飢餓,我不用告訴你;因為世界和其中所充滿的,都是我的。(詩50:9-12)
我們只是受托之人。我們“捐獻”時要樂意,不要叫左手知道右手所作的,要榮耀神,不要榮耀人。
我當記念主耶穌的話,說:“施比受更為有福。”

「。。。多種的多收。。。」不是為了得到更多而自己享受,而是為了更多的施出,使他人因此將感謝歸於神。除了奉獻給神之外,甘心的施出,幫助那些有需要的人,也是神所悅納的。感謝主,祂是恩典是豐豐富富,祂給我們機會可以學習效法祂的慷慨,而因此可以經歷神不止息豐滿的祝福。感恩又感恩!

We are told by church pastors that we should always give cheerfully, even the bible teaches the same principle. If we should not give under pressure since everything comes from Him and belongs to Him.
2 Corinthians 9:6; “whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” Malachi 3:10; “Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.”

有次聽講員講了很多,但有句話深深的抓住了我,提醒我只是神的管家。因為萬物都從神而來,無論是才華或財寶,這一切都是神暫時給予我們保管。我們也可以使用,如今神的家有需要,我們把從神得到的獻給神,不是我們“給”神,而是我們“還”給神。每當奉獻時真的很樂意,因為本來就是主的。感謝主,因祂的恩典永遠超過我所求所想。
