Day 19
Genesis 13:14, 15 Amplified Version
"The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had left him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and south• ward and eastward and westward. For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your posterity for ever."
It was after Abram had given Lot first choice to take the land he wanted, that God told Abram he could have all the land he could see in every direction, including the direction Lot had selected. Abram gave generously and in faith. He had the right to choose first. He was responsible for Lot being blessed and being where he was. Yet he was not hesitant to give the best. He believed in God's integrity and was already experiencing the blessings of God.
We must learn to give fearlessly. Give in faith. We do not need to make sure we get the best choice, even though we may have the right to it. When we don't feel obligated to look out for ourselves, God will feel obligated to look out for us. God will respond when we give in faith and not in fear.
I will give generously. I will give fearlessly. I will give in faith and God will reward me.
