Make God a Loan
What the Bible Says About Lending to God
Proverbs 19:17 says, “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed” (ESV).
This verse reminds us that when we give to those who have no way of repaying us, we are not just making a simple charitable donation. It’s much more than that. We are making an investment into something eternal, something that goes far beyond the reach of what we see in this world.
How God Views Your Generosity
When we give to those in need, God views our generosity as a personal loan to Him. And unlike any earthly investment, His return is guaranteed. In the world we live in, no bank or investment firm can guarantee a return like God does. Not only does He repay what we’ve given, but He does so with overflowing blessings and favor. He pays us back with interest, and the interest rate is one that surpasses even the highest rates of inflation. In God’s economy, every single gift multiplies. What starts as a seed grows into something far greater than we could ever imagine. God takes what we give and multiplies it beyond what we initially gave
Make God a Loan
So, my encouragement to you is this: Find a mission or a cause that serves those who cannot repay you. It doesn’t matter how much you give—even if it’s just five dollars a month—it matters. When you give, you’re lending to the Lord—and I promise you, He will repay, with interest.
