Giver or Hoarder?

Today I read Exodus 36 and Mark 10:20-52. My favorite verses are:

Exodus 36:5 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

Mark 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

We can never outgive God. How good it is when we are blessed by Him and can give “more than enough” to His Kingdom work. Since Jesus reminds us that it is very hard for a rich man to enter God’s kingdom, it makes sense to give as much as we can back to Him so that we won’t have that “rich man” worry. Are you a generous giver or a hoarder? Most of us fall somewhere in between—we give, but not as much as we could or should. Maybe tomorrow we can try giving more than usual and see if God responds with more than usual blessings!
