What the Bible teaches us about money (4)

‘Every man shall give as he is able,’ Deuteronomy 16:17 NKJV

When it comes to giving, here are two important truths the Bible teaches us about money:

1) God does not expect us all to give the same amount. ‘Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you’ (Deuteronomy 16:17 NKJV). Paul writes, ‘For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have’ (2 Corinthians 8:12 NIV). 2) God will ask you to make sacrifices to fulfil His Kingdom purposes in the earth. In order to reverse the judgment of God that had come upon the people, King David was instructed to ‘… Go up, erect an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite’ (2 Samuel 24:18 NKJV). When Araunah saw David coming, he offered him the land free of charge. But David said: ‘… “No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel’ (2 Samuel 24:24-25 NKJV). God does not ask us to give equally, He asks us to sacrifice equally. And here is the good news: on the other side of every sacrifice God asks you to make for Him, there awaits you His blessings and His rewards.
