"Giving (4)"
Bible Reading: Acts 2:42-47Acts 2:42 They continued faithfully in the teaching of the emissaries, in fellowship, in breaking bread and in the prayers. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many miracles and signs took place through the emissaries. 44 All those trusting in Yeshua stayed together and had everything in common; 45 in fact, they sold their property and possessions and distributed the proceeds to all who were in need. 46 Continuing faithfully and with singleness of purpose to meet in the Temple courts daily, and breaking bread in their several homes, they shared their food in joy and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having the respect of all the people. And day after day the Lord kept adding to them those who were being saved.

There are a couple more important things to remember about giving. First, giving to God is a beautiful way to worship Him. Giving was a part of the worship experience in the early church. In our Bible reading for today, the believers were happy to give to God and share with each other! In 1 Corinthians 16:2, Paul told the Christians in Corinth, "On the first day of every week, each of you should take some of your money and put it in a special place."
Second, giving to God shows your love to Him. Everything we do as Christians is motivated by love for God and for others. 1 John 3:18 says, "My children, our love should not be only words and talk. No, our love must be real. We must show our love by the things we do." God has already shown the full extent of His love. Giving back to God is a marvelous way to show our love for Him in return.
Worship God by giving to Him and others. And remember that giving to God shows how much we love Him.[CPE*]
"We love because God first loved us."[1 John 4:19]
PRAYER: Dear God, I worship You and want to show You my love by giving back to You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
