Every generous act of giving is from above

Morning: Psalm 78:1-39; Deuteronomy 8:11-20; James 1:16-27
Evening: Psalm 78:40-72; Leviticus 26:1-20; Luke 11:1-13
Jesus taught his disciples the prayer we know as ‘The Lord’s Prayer’.  It praises God and invites God’s rule on earth.  It asks for just four things – daily bread, forgiveness, the ability to forgive others and deliverance from evil.  Jesus wants us to live generously.  We are to pray for one another and not only for ourselves, saying, “give us”, “forgive us as we forgive” and “deliver us.” Jesus promises, too, that God will give the Holy Spirit to all who ask.  Those who ask for the Holy Spirit want to live generously. If we truly want that, it’s ours!
