Scrooge didn’t create the world—God did!
Giving characterizes God’s creation. From the first page of Scripture, God produces in pluralities. Every gift arrives in bulk, multiples, and medleys.
Psalm 104 celebrates this lavish creation with twenty-three verses of blessings: the heavens and the earth, the water and streams and trees and birds and oil and bread. It continues by saying God is the source of “innumerable teeming things, living things both small and great. These all wait for Him, that He may give them their food in due season.”
And He does. God is the great giver. The great provider. The fount of every blessing. Absolutely generous and utterly dependable.
The resounding and recurring message of Scripture is clear:
God owns it all. God shares it all. 1st Timothy 6:17 says we’re not to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God.
Trust Him—not stuff!
