In this episode, we're diving into the profound act of obedience involved in giving, anchored by the wisdom of Proverbs 3:9-10. We explore the spiritual and practical aspects of responding faithfully to God’s call to give, highlighting the blessings that follow when we honor God with our resources.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is: Proverbs 3:9-10: "Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine."

This scripture not only encourages generosity but promises divine abundance as a result of our obedience.

Obedience in giving is a testament to our trust in God’s provision and promises. It's about stepping out in faith, often before seeing the outcome, and it's a crucial component of our spiritual growth and witness.

The Importance of Obedience in Giving:

* Test of Faith: Obedience in giving often comes when it is least convenient, serving as a real test of our faith and trust in God’s promises.

* Spiritual Alignment: When we give as God directs, it aligns our hearts with His purposes, helping us to grow in love and generosity.

Honoring God Through Our Resources:

* Financial Giving: This is often the first thought about giving but honoring God with our wealth goes beyond money; it includes investments, properties, and other assets.

* Time and Talents: Giving isn’t limited to financial contributions. Our time and talents are equally valuable and can be used to bless others and glorify God.

Practical Steps from Hearing to Giving:

* Immediate Response: When you feel the Holy Spirit prompting you to give, respond quickly before doubt or hesitation sets in.

* Planned Generosity: Include giving in your regular budgeting. Plan to give, just as you plan other expenditures, which helps in being obedient when God calls.

* Seek God’s Guidance: Regularly ask God how much you should give and to whom. Being in continuous prayer about your giving helps keep your heart responsive to His leading.

Conclusion

Obeying God's call to give is an integral part of our Christian walk. It requires faith, trust, and a willingness to be used by God for His kingdom purposes. As we step out in faith to give, we open the doors to God’s abundant provision and blessings not only for ourselves but for those we help.

A Question of the Day: What is one area where God is challenging you to give more, and what steps can you take to obey His call?

Growth Challenge: Commit to a specific act of generosity this week based on what you have discerned in prayer. It might be financial, or it might involve giving of your time or skills. Note the challenges and blessings you experience.

Let’s Pray: Lord, we ask for the courage to honor You with all our resources. Help us to trust in Your provision and promises as we respond to Your call to give. May our obedience lead to a deeper faith and a greater impact in Your kingdom. Amen.

As you go through this week, let each opportunity to give be a step of faith, drawing you closer to the heart of God and extending His love to others. Let’s cherish the joy that comes from giving and watch how God works wonders through our obedience. Let’s get to work.
