The poor. [ 2 Corinthians 8 v 9 ]

I heard a man saying, the poor give more than the rich, it appears a strange thing to say, in 2 Corinthians 8 v2, we read of those who were very poor,who overflowed in rich generosity. If we were trusted with riches how generous would we be?and if God trusted us with little how generous would we be,I believe being rich brings its challenges as does being poor . Most of us would not consider ourselves rich , but whatever our state the challenge is to be generous,to help others. We live in a world of needy people,material poverty is just one type of poverty, do you know you can be rich and still poor, and you can be poor and rich, the Bible speaks of those who are poor and are rich in faith [James 2 v 5 ]. In Mark 13 v41-44, we read of a poor widow who give her all and was commended for it by our Saviour, my study Bible says this, / Here Jesus was admiring generous and sacrificial giving. As believers, we should consider increasing our giving- whether of money, time,or talents- to a point beyond conveinience or calculation/. [Father we thank You for loving generosity to us, materially and spiritually, help us to be generous, we ask this in Jesus name .Amen ]
