GENEROSITY
I Samuel 30:26, 31
"Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, 'Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD – ' .... and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to rove."
In contrast to the selfishness of some of his army who did not want to share the plunder God had given even with their fellow-soldiers, David sent some of the spoil of battle to the elders of other cities where he had found refuge during his flight from King Saul. David demonstrated to his followers a spirit of unselfishness and generosity. God has demonstrated His spirit of generosity – "God so loved that He gave" (John 3:16). Nothing I have is my own; it is a gift from God, and He calls me to follow His example of generosity.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: A generous and unselfish spirit demonstrates God's nature.

Have a generous day. Love you.
