A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. -Proverbs 11:25
Have you ever read in the newspaper of a poor man giving out a dollar ten bucks to a neighbor taking his night out on a cold brick? Nay, what we normally read and hear is some tycoon A donating some USD100, 000 to The Nightingale’s Home For The Ages or Noah Ark for His Junior and someone get to quote Proverbs 11:25. It is however in the natural law of harvesting, except when divine providences at work and the harvest of a man is blessed to a double or some in multiples of three, four or even five, each man should toil for what he should own. (Proverbs 13:4)
A man may have all the wealth in the world and yet do not know how to bless other. Likewise, we can have very little and may not be necessary of good cheer every moment of our life but still be very generous (gracious) in our speech to other. He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed and one who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.
It is never an evil to own too much but certainly not when our power this day within have causes us to forget God and the placement he has put us in today. (Proverbs 3:27) For such man will he himself be cursed if not by man (verse 26,27) but by the same God who causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (Matthew 5:45) To be stingy alone may not be a grievous sin, but not when one become overwhelmed by what he has and people curse the one who hoards grain, but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell. A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. (Proverbs 22:1) For to see the needs of other is one thing but being not able to pray for them is a grievous sin for one to begin with (1 Samuel 12:23) but whoever refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
What are the areas that God has put you to be able to bless other today? It may not be necessary in the form of money or a bank’s check but a simple word that encourages. A word that could uphold a man’s life at a point of time or even a piece of sweet to an immigrant who had just stepped onto a foreign land, is a blessing to one we see in needs. For by doing so some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it (Hebrews 13:2) and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. But what good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? He who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.
