You Can't Out-give God 1 Chronicles 29:10-18

The other day we received our first sign that Christmas is approaching by way of a Christmas toy catalogue. Grabbing the colorful mailer, my four year old sat on the couch picking out all the toys he wanted.

This will be the first Christmas Evan can make a toy list. Sitting down with him I explained our new tradition. For every toy he wants we are going to go through his toy bin and chose something to give away. I was shocked when Evan turned to me and said, “Okay Mama.”

Evan isn’t worried about not having toys; he knows his father and I will provide more than he needs. Our faith in God should be similar. Today’s scripture says, “Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.” We are blessed with abundance. Everything we have comes from God and he doesn’t want us to worry about our possessions but rather give them back to him generously.
