God reassures one –
“See if I will not open the floodgates of heaven and pour out blessings.”
He instructs another –
“Do not become weary in doing good… As you have opportunity, do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
Both step out in faith and obey.
One asks.
The other gives.
Blessings flow and hearts overflow.
The beautiful harmony of this give and take touches the life of the giver as much, if not more than, the receiver.
There is nothing more encouraging and comforting than seeing firsthand how God provides for His children. It prompts further acts of faith, pulling more and more people into its cycle of give and take.
That is how life should be for Christians. When the constant ebb and flow of blessings pour from and into our lives, and the lives of those around us, life is beautiful.
