Bless Others
Day 136 of 365 • FINANCES
“Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.”
— Proverbs 22:9 (ESV)
Proverb Truth
Years ago, I knew a man who wasn’t wealthy by the world’s standards. There was nothing flashy about him. But the longer I knew him, the more I realized I was in the presence of someone truly rich.
He noticed people. He remembered birthdays. He quietly paid for meals when someone was struggling. What amazed me wasn’t how much he gave. It was how much joy he seemed to find in blessing other people.
Because generous people don’t necessarily have more. They simply understand that what they have isn’t theirs to cling to. It’s theirs to steward.
Jesus in Action
Jesus never passed hurting people without noticing them. His entire ministry reflected the heart of a Father who delights in blessing His children.
Forged Wisdom
Seneca believed that wealth finds its highest purpose when it benefits others.
The No Limits Challenge
Bless someone this week without seeking recognition.
Prayer
Father, thank You for every blessing You’ve poured into my life. Help me become a blessing to others and teach me to live with open hands and a grateful heart. Amen.
