Breakfast of Champions: Andy Elmes

Good morning, Champion. Wanna increase the size of your world? Proverbs 11:24 (The Message) The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. Here’s some great wisdom for those wanting a life that just gets larger and larger as the years go by, ending up somewhere incredible and blessed. The key is real simple too: choose to live generously! Do you want your world (life) to get bigger and bigger, or smaller and smaller? How are you going to choose to live to make your desired life a reality? Today's verse does not say 'your finances', it says 'your world'. Obviously your world (life) is more than your financial success, right? Your world involves your health, relationships, influence and so much more. In every section of your life you have the opportunity daily to be generous; the choice to be generous or stingy belongs only to you! Generosity can be manifested through every bit of who we are and the life we live; with our words we can be generous – encouraging people – or stingy – never speaking words life or hope, but rather gossip and critisism. With our time we can be generous or stingy: we can spend it on ourselves or choose to spend it on and for others too. With our finances and the resources of our life we can be generous, giving and lending where we can, or we can be stingy and live a self-benefiting, self-preserving existence. In every section of what makes your world unique to you you have the choice to be generous or mean. I dont know about you but I don’t want the inheritance of the stingy, with a life that gets smaller and smaller. Finally, this really isn’t a matter of faith but one of choice: it may take faith to be as generous as you really want to but the choice to be generous, rather than stingy, is the daily first step. Hey Champion, give something away today, I dare you! Imagine if everyone that reads this devotional deliberately gave something special away to someone else today – that would be a fun wave we would create together and send into the ocean of life and need. Money, time, encouragement: you choose, one or all of them – but be generous, knowing that as you do God promises your world will get bigger. God bless! Andy
