M Which people come to mind in Scripture that are examples of generosity? The Proverbs 31 woman is certainly one. She is often revered as an example of productivity, business acumen, buying land and farming. She is all that.
V Consider verse 20 ‘She opens her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hands to the needy.’ You might say she works and is successful on purpose. Not just to provide for her family and her servants: food, clothing, warmth. But to help those who do not have those provisions. Generosity is not a give leftovers thing. Its purposeful, and planned.
M There need be no recognition here or applause. Heavens’ blessing will be enough
