Daily Devotion (English) – 09.03.2024

 

Almsgiving

 

"…inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me…" - Matthew 25:40

 

Henry Ford, known as the father of motor cars, was once asked to help build an orphanage. He presented a check to assist financially with two thousand dollars. The next day the newspaper erroneously reported that Henry Ford had donated twenty thousand dollars to build an orphanage. On hearing this, the innkeeper met Henry Board and expressed his regret. Immediately Henry Board said not to worry and handed over a check for another $18,000. Lord blessed him more.

 

A miracle performed by Jesus is written in the book of John, one of the Gospel books. In it, knowing that the people who came to hear Jesus' teaching were hungry, Jesus wanted to feed them. The most important person in Jesus' miracle was a little boy. The five loaves and two fish that this little boy came forward with caused more than five thousand people to be fed. The little boy gave absolutely everything he had. He gave what he had without thinking about what to do for his hunger. As a result, "a little boy" is spoken of in scriptures to this day.

 

Beloved! It is blessing to give than to receive. We should not give for pride, and let the left hand not know that the right hand gives. Since we brought nothing when we came into this world, let us enjoy sharing what the Lord has given us to those in need during our lifetime. God is pleased with it. So "Let's give what we can. To those who don't have it!" Let us learn to donate not only when we have a blessing, but when we do not have it too. "Let's give until our hands hurt," says mother Amy Carmichael. And as the man of God Billy Graham says, "God has given us two hands. One to receive from God and the other to give to others!" Yes, we too will lead by example and reflect the thinking of Jesus Christ.

- Mrs. Shakti Shankarraj
