“As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; He hath given to the poor: His righteousness remaineth for ever.” — 2 Corinthians 9:9 (KJV)

There is something powerful about the kind of giving God honors. It’s not the kind that waits for perfect circumstances… it’s the kind that simply flows. Paul reaches back to the Psalms and reminds us: God loves to work through people whose hearts are open.

Think about that—“He hath dispersed abroad.” That means God is always sowing, always scattering blessing, always reaching into the world with open hands… and the way He does it is through you and me.

And what happens when we give God our open hands? Something beautiful. Scripture says, “His righteousness remaineth for ever.” In other words—what you sow in love, in generosity, in kindness… it outlives you. It echoes in eternity. It becomes part of the story God is writing long after the moment is gone.

You may not feel like you have much. Maybe you’re tired, stretched thin, or wondering how your little offering could make any difference at all. But listen to me—God isn’t looking at the size of the gift. He’s looking at the size of your heart. And when He finds a willing heart, He multiplies it.

Your encouragement… your prayer… your time… your generosity… your smile… your faithfulness—none of it is wasted. Heaven keeps the record, and God keeps the promise.

So today, don’t close your hands. Open them. Let God use you to scatter a little hope, a little love, a little grace. Because when you pour out, He pours in… and His righteousness in you remains forever.

Keep giving. Keep trusting. Keep shining.

God is not done using you.
