Your Open Word e-Devotional for February 17th

Published: Sat, 02/17/18

Hello ,


Today's Scripture:  Proverbs 11:25

The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.


The story is told that one day a beggar by the roadside asked for alms from Alexander the Great as he passed by. The man was poor and wretched and had no claim upon the ruler, no right even to lift a solicitous hand. Yet the Emperor threw him several gold coins.

A courtier was astonished at his generosity and commented, "Sir, copper coins would adequately meet a beggar's need. Why give him gold?" Alexander responded in royal fashion, "Copper coins would suit the beggar's need, but gold coins suit Alexander's giving."

We are told that God appreciates generosity.  Who can you be generous too today, and show them that you serve the Heavenly King?


Have a great day and God bless!
