Generosity

I start every morning and evening with coffee and God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread Ministries, https://odb.org. “A Big Deal” is the title of today’s devotion. The scripture is from Isaiah 58:6–9 (NIV) with the key verse, “This is the kind of fasting I want: . . . Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people." Isaiah 58:6 NLT. Patricia Raybon wrote this devotion. My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, before I write, I pray first to God to guide my words, so that it may serve as spiritual food and guidance. I want God to be the sole source of my writing, so all the credit goes to Him, not to me. I am only his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as a base for comments. The subject here is about giving and generosity. The Nation of Israel practice the religious rituals, but ignore the Lord's commandments to love and care for their people. God has repeated over and over that He does not desire religious rituals. God’s people to please Him by doing what’s right: Act justly and treat people fairly, stop fighting and quarreling, help those burdened or imprisoned by life’s circumstances and poverty, and be generous to those in need including family members. If everyone lives by God's, word, be as generous as Him, we will have a happy, unselfish, and beautiful world.

Lord, light the path of generosity, helping us to give like You.

May God bless you and light the path of generosity to help you give like Him.
