HEBREWS 13:1-8, 14–16
Psalm 67
Luke 20:45 - 21:4
A person who gives thanks is a person who gives.
Gratitude connects us to God’s goodness and invites us into his generosity. When we experience the good gifts of God given to us, we begin to more deeply trust his generosity. When we experience his generosity, we can participate in his generosity.
But generosity is not only the response to God’s goodness, it can be a way in to God’s goodness. Just like practicing gratitude teaches us to see God’s good gifts. Practicing generosity teaches us to see God’s good gifts. When we risk to live generously, we put ourselves in a place of relying on the goodness of God.
