Expect God to Multiply Your Generosity
By Rick Warren

“God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV).

If you are doing things God’s way—giving generously and with the right motivation—then you can expect God to meet your needs.

In today’s verse, notice how many times the word “all” appears. I did a little Greek study of the word “all,” and this is what I discovered: The word “all” means “all.” It’s a blanket statement. God says in this verse that he will take care of all your needs in life if you will trust him.

Here’s the key question: How badly do you want God’s blessing in your life? Will you trust him with everything and choose to follow his commands, no matter what?

If you live God’s way and if you give God’s way, you can expect him to multiply your seed of generosity: “He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness” (2 Corinthians 9:10 NIV).

You need to expect God to multiply your seed. Giving is not a debt you owe. It’s a seed you sow. And when you let go of what God has already placed in your hand (because he put it there in the first place), God will replace it with much more.

Five times in Scripture, Jesus commands us not to store up wealth on earth but to store it up in heaven. How do you do that? By giving and planting the seeds of generosity.

When you do that, God will use your giving to reap generosity in others. They will see that you trust God in all things, and they will be blessed. That blessing will reap a harvest that God can multiply for his kingdom in ways you could never imagine.
