Give Your Cake and Eat it

Throughout the Bible, we see examples of people who had very little, yet were still able to give generously to others because they trusted in God's provision. Jesus Himself taught that we should not worry about our basic needs, such as food and clothing, because our Heavenly Father knows what we need and will provide for us if we seek Him first (Matthew 6:25-34).  When we give, even when we don't have much, it demonstrates our faith and trust in God's provision. And when we are obedient to God, He promises to take care of all of our needs (Philippians 4:19). This doesn't mean that we will always have everything we want or that life will be easy, but it does mean that we can trust that God will provide for us in His perfect way and timing. So if you are in a situation where you don't have much to give, remember that God sees your heart and knows your circumstances. Trust Him to provide for your needs as you seek to obey Him and bless others with what you do have.
