What does Proverbs 11:25 mean? →

Passage Context

23The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
25The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyGratitudeHopeCompassionAwe

God is generous and provides for everybody. He wants His children to be as considerate as He is. Our mission on Earth is not to hoard blessings, forgiveness, money, and opportunities for ourselves. No, like our Eternal Father, we are to be conduits of blessing, forgiveness, riches, and opportunity. We hope that as we strive to be generous like God, He will bless and refresh us in ways that will enable us to grow more like Him and be better equipped to aid others in the future.

Prayer

Thank you, holy God, for all the kind individuals who have supported me throughout my life. These conduits of your grace have shown me that I can also be more like you in this manner, regardless of how much or how little money I have. As I work to provide more grace, forgiveness, money, encouragement, and time to others, bless my heart with trust and faith. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
