We reap what we sow. Paul reminds us of this in 2 Corinthians 9.6. What is the Christian's attitude toward giving? It's clear that we are not expected to be able to give at all times with no warning. Paul sends a message about some needs in advance of messengers who will collect an offering. It's good and appropriate to plan our giving in advance, being sensitive to needs we hear about. Yet as God has blessed us, we are to give, cheerfully and abundantly. This is the picture of God who has given us all things abundantly in Christ. As we pray that God's kingdom will come on earth, that his will may be done, that he will give us our daily bread, we also see that we we are part of Christ's kingdom on earth, part of the people who do his will, part of his provision for daily bread.
