From the book Hebrews in The Bible: "To do good and to distribute, forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." What exactly does that mean? Well, the message is for us to not forget to do good and to share what we have because God is pleased with these kinds of sacrifices. Actually the word "sacrifices" might not even be the best translation. We might better say that God is pleased with those kinds of offerings.
Doing good and sharing - such a simple thing, huh? This pleases God and let me tell you it pleases a lot of others too. What though should we share? How should we do good? Of course there is not just one answer and it will likely be different for every one of us. That's what makes it so wonderful.
I have a coworker who brings fruit every day and she always offers me some. It's part of who she is. I have something and I will offer part of it to others. It's like when you go to someone's house and they offer you a beverage or perhaps even a snack. You came to see them - nothing more, but in their charity and in their hospitality, they offer to share more than just themselves.
Think about this today. What does doing good mean in your life? How do you share what you have? (One really helpful kind of sharing is if you give us some feedback in the comments section below).
