Giving is an act of generosity that God uses to bless others. But did you know that according to the Bible, giving is more than just an action? It is a concept.
In Hebrew the word natan means “to give.” When you write the word, it is the same forward or backward which means when you give, it is given back to you.
Think about it! The Bible instructs us to give back to God because He has given to us. God also promises to bless those who give and the only way to receive this blessing is to give.
Jesus said it this way, “Give and it shall be given to you”
(Lk. 6:38).
As you consider a gift to one or more of the programs or projects, it affords you the opportunity to natan—to give—and God will give back a blessing to you.
These blessings are not always material but it is natan at work, when you give it is given back to you.
Looking back over the past 80 years, I am amazed at the many ways God has blessed and given back for our generosity to the Jewish people. It is natan at work, when you give it is given back to you. Today, the needs aren’t as desperate as they were in 1938, but they are just as necessary.
