Let us fully trust that God will provide us with absolutely everything we need and then after this we will rejoice in giving.

8 In the same way, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia; 2 that in the great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their generosity. 3 For I bear witness that they were glad to give according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, 4 with much entreaty that we might grant them the privilege of sharing in this ministry for the saints. 5 And not as we hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God; 6 so we exhort Titus that as he began at the beginning, so also he may finish this gracious work among you. 7 Therefore, as you abound in everything, in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love toward us, abound in this grace also.

2 Corinthians 8:1-7

Being generous and sharing is something we can learn since this is not something we are born with, it is not something natural, for example we can see children who from a young age argue about who goes in first or who is first in line, they fight over who has the biggest piece of cookie or who uses this or that toy.

We as adults continue to do the same, we also have struggles and more when it comes to giving that all of this is related to our finances. Everything that we decide according to our finances, our money, how much we are going to give, how much we have, absolutely all of this reveals where we have placed our trust.

38 Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your lap, For with the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

Luke 6:38

The Lord Jesus Christ invites us to be generous, not just to spend ourselves accumulating and spending everything, he recommends that we find security in relating to him instead of seeking the security of our possessions. This is because no matter how much we have, it seems that it is never enough.

24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain descended, the floods rose, and the winds blew and beat on that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

Matthew 7:24-26

We must also be aware that if we only focus on money and rely on it, we are simply left to anxiety and uncertainty, since we can lose our job or if we suddenly have an illness, we cannot generate more money. If our trust is placed in it, unfortunately, our security is too fragile. When we have our security and hope placed in Christ, that He will give us everything we need, we can live fully with the certainty that God will not leave us lacking anything.

The Lord also provides us with money to use for what we want and for His purposes, not to believe that this gives us security. If we maintain an adequate vision of money, we will be able to experience the peace of God both in abundance and in scarcity, but we must never stop giving what we have received from the Lord.

Confiemos plenamente en que Dios nos proveerá de absolutamente todo lo que necesitamos y entonces después de esto al dar nos gozaremos.

8 Asimismo, hermanos, os hacemos saber la gracia de Dios que se ha dado a las iglesias de Macedonia; 2 que en grande prueba de tribulación, la abundancia de su gozo y su profunda pobreza abundaron en riquezas de su generosidad. 3 Pues doy testimonio de que con agrado han dado conforme a sus fuerzas, y aun más allá de sus fuerzas, 4 pidiéndonos con muchos ruegos que les concediésemos el privilegio de participar en este servicio para los santos. 5 Y no como lo esperábamos, sino que a sí mismos se dieron primeramente al Señor, y luego a nosotros por la voluntad de Dios; 6 de manera que exhortamos a Tito para que tal como comenzó antes, asimismo acabe también entre vosotros esta obra de gracia. 7 Por tanto, como en todo abundáis, en fe, en palabra, en ciencia, en toda solicitud, y en vuestro amor para con nosotros, abundad también en esta gracia.

2 Corintios 8:1-7

Ser generoso y compartir es algo que podemos aprender ya que esto no es algo con lo que nacemos, no es algo natural, por ejemplo podemos ver a los niños que desde pequeño discuten quien ingresa primero o quien está antes en la fila, se disputan quién tiene el trozo más grande de galletita O quien utiliza tal o cual juguete.

Nosotros como adultos seguimos haciendo lo mismo, también tenemos lucha y más cuando se trata de dar que todo esto está relacionado con nuestras finanzas. Todo lo que nosotros decidimos conforme a nuestras finanzas, nuestro dinero, cuánto es lo que vamos a dar, cuánto es lo que tenemos, absolutamente todo esto revela donde tenemos puesta nuestra confianza.

38 Dad, y se os dará; medida buena, apretada, remecida y rebosando darán en vuestro regazo; porque con la misma medida con que medís, os volverán a medir.

Lucas 6:38

El señor Jesucristo nos invita a que seamos generosos, no solamente a que nos dediquemos acumular ir a parar todo, nos recomienda que encontremos seguridad en relacionarnos con él en lugar de buscar la seguridad de nuestros bienes. Esto es porque sin importar cuánto tengamos parece que nunca es suficiente.

24 Cualquiera, pues, que me oye estas palabras, y las hace, le compararé a un hombre prudente, que edificó su casa sobre la roca. 25 Descendió lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos, y golpearon contra aquella casa; y no cayó, porque estaba fundada sobre la roca. 26 Pero cualquiera que me oye estas palabras y no las hace, le compararé a un hombre insensato, que edificó su casa sobre la arena;

Mateo 7:24-26
