Generosity is a beautiful characteristic in people. We love and admire generosity. How do you think of God? Do you think of Him as a little bit mean or tight-fisted or as extraordinarily generous? God’s generosity is seen in the natural world. For example, there are over 25,000 varieties of orchids. The orchid is just one of 270,000 species of flowers. God does not do things by halves. In our galaxy there are over 100 billion stars like our sun. Our galaxy is one of over 100 billion galaxies. It is thought that for every grain of sand there are a million stars. He also made the stars’ (Genesis 1:16). God is extraordinarily, extravagantly generous. David speaks of God’s‘…river of delights’ (Psalm 36:8b). He ‘gives generously to all’ (James 1:5). If God is so generous to us, we also should ‘always be generous’.

 

David was surrounded by people with ‘no regard for God’ and who were ‘eager to sin’ They were ‘wicked and deceitful’ and constantly plotting evil. They had ‘ceased to be wise and to do good’. By committing themselves to a sinful path, they had spurned God’s generosity.

 

Delights include the experiencing the extent of God’s Love

1. God’s love is meteoric 'reaches to the heavens’ .

2. God’s faithfulness is ‘astronomic’

His faithfulness reaches ‘to the skies’.

3. God’s purpose is ‘titanic’

His righteousness is ‘like the highest mountains’ .

4. God’s justice is ‘oceanic’

His justice is ‘like the great deep’

 

You can find ‘refuge’ in the shadow of His wings. You can ‘feast’ in the abundance of His House. Abundance is a synonym for generosity. The ‘Fountain of Life’ is found in Yeshua and In His Light you ‘see light’.

 

These are some of the ‘delights’ that He generously gives you in your relationship with Him.

 

How 'generous' is your relationship with Yeshua?
