Financial Tips: God's Generous Provision

God’s generosity is extraordinary. Some things are stored up for the future when you will be face-to-face with Him (see Ephesians 1:13–14; Hebrews 4:8–11 & 1 Peter 1:4–5), but there is much that God gives to his people here on earth now. If you want to enjoy all God’s generosity, here are four things you could focus on today:

​

1. Take possession

Caleb said, ‘We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it’ (Numbers 13.30b).

2. Believe God’s promises

The Lord said to Moses, ‘How long will they refuse to believe in me?’ (14:11).

3. Watch for his guidance

God is so kind and generous to us. He promises to go before us ‘in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night’ (v.14). If you want to enjoy all the good things God has for you, keep your eyes fixed on his guidance.

​

4. Follow him passionately

The majority were put off by the giants. Only Joshua and Caleb were different: ‘Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly’ (v.24). In the end, only those who followed the Lord ‘passionately’ (v.24, MSG) enjoyed the land flowing with milk and honey.

Balance yourself in receiving and giving (acts 20:35/proverbs 11:24-25) and be wholeheartedly in receiving and generous in giving (2 Corinthians9:6-7/ Luke 6:38). 

May you stand on God's promises give bountiful and experiences God's provision now and forever.
