God’s Goodness to the Generous

Psalms 112:4-9

4Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,

for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.

5Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,

who conducts his affairs with justice. Psalm 112:4-5

The Good That Comes To Me Is….

9“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 11“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11:9-13

AND

12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,

for this  sums up the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12
