Reading: **2 Corinthians 9:6–15** Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. ** Everything we have comes from God—our resources, talents, and opportunities. But His blessings are never meant to stop with us. He enriches us so that we can bless others, becoming channels of His generosity. When we give freely, we reflect the heart of our generous Father and point others to Him.** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Father, thank You for every good gift You’ve given me. Make me a cheerful giver who trusts You to provide as I pour into others.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Take Action:** 1. Give generously to someone today—whether with your time, resources, or encouragement. 2. Make a list of blessings you’ve received from God this month and thank Him for each one.
