February 22

God is willing to supply our needs, superabundantly if we will let him. Never for a moment think that he is poor. The cattle upon a thousand hills are his; all things belong to him. God is not one who cannot supply. He most assuredly can. But there is something we must do, a condition we must fulfill before we are supplied. What he requires is that we ourselves should give; then his promise follows that there shall be given to us again.

Christians should have a special way of managing their finances. The world calculates its income, but we Christians should measure revenue by outgoing. A meager income often follows inadequate giving. Proper giving almost guarantees a sufficient supply from God. lf you do not give, then the Lord is under no obligation to give to you. Many have faith to ask God for money, but lack faith to give it away. When God gives, he always gives bountifully. He gives not only good measure, but pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
