#soap # 2 Corinthians 09 ## Title: Give God Something to Work With ## Scripture: (2 Corinthians 9:6-7) “My point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously. Each one of you should give just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver.” (NET) ## Observation: We ask God to bless us but then don’t do our part to place our resources in His hand. It would be like asking a great chef to cook an amazing meal, but then giving them no ingredients. God could do it without our participation. He created everything we see with nothing. However, this is not His plan or His way. He created us to be in fellowship and partnership with Him. Therefore, He always waits to do life with us. ## Application: Be generous. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, because You model generosity by how You treat us.
