"A king's secret should be kept secret, but one must declare the works of God and give thanks with due honor. Do good, and evil will not overtake you. Prayer with fasting is good. Almsgiving with righteousness is better than wealth with wickedness. It is better to give alms than to store up gold," Tobit 12:7-8
What is almsgiving? It is doing good with the gifts that God has given you for His benefit. We have been given many things, are you declaring the works of God? Not in a loud way but quietly each day giving when no one knows it. The widow women gave her last two penny's, no one knew it but God. Her treasure wasn't here on earth, her treasure was in heaven. The person that volunteers their time and gives to others is also not storing up gold. Each day we are tested, think before answering the question, what would Jesus do?
Dear Heavenly Father, Your church continues to grow each day by those willing to give of themselves. Lord, help me see how my actions impact those I come in contact with, continue to purify my spirit. I thank You Lord for the gifts we each have, may we recognize where they come from and may we in turn give back what belongs to You. I ask this through Your most holy name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
