Short Reading
"The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty." - Prov.21.5 (NKJV).
🎺Hymn from Global Canticle:
"Joy Shall Rise"
Meter: 6.6.8.6
Key: C Major
Tune: Bradbury
1.
Joy shall rise again,
Though sorrow held the night;
The grave has lost its bitter sting,
The dawn reveals the light.
👉Chorus:
Joy shall rise, joy shall reign,
Through the cross and through the pain.
Christ is risen, hope restored!
Joy shall rise forevermore.
2.
Joy shall rise in song,
Where silence once had reigned;
The stone is rolled, the cry is strong—
The Lamb of God proclaimed.
3.
Joy shall rise in me,
Though trials press and stay;
For Christ is risen, I am free—
His joy will lead the way.

Generosity isn’t just spontaneous—it’s strategic. When giving is planned, it becomes powerful.
📌Storytelling: "The Envelope in the Drawer"
A woman kept a small envelope in her drawer labeled “Blessing Fund.” Each month, she added a little—sometimes coins, sometimes bills. One day, a neighbor lost their job. She didn’t hesitate. She opened the drawer, handed over the envelope, and said, “This was always meant for someone like you.”

💕Devotional Reflection
Proverbs 21:5 reminds us that diligence leads to abundance—not just for ourselves, but for others through us. When we budget for generosity, we make space for miracles.
You can give with intention by:
- Setting aside a portion of income for giving
- Praying over your financial decisions
- Creating a “giving goal” each month
- Supporting ministries or missions regularly
- Being ready to respond when needs arise.
📊 Interactive Challenge:
- “Generosity isn’t a reaction—it’s a rhythm.”
- “Faithful giving starts with faithful planning.”
- “Your budget can be a ministry.”
Faithful giving isn’t impulsive—it’s intentional, disciplined, and Spirit-led.
