Two farmers were discussing stewardship one day and one farmer turned to the other and said “Ezra, if you had 100 sheep, would you give 50 of them to the Lord?”

“Why, sure I would Zeke” came back the reply.

“And if you had 100 cows, would you give 50 of them to the Lord?”

“Wouldn’t even think twice Zeke, I’d just do it.”

“If you had two pigs would you give one of them to the Lord?”

“Now Zeke,” came back the reply “That ain’t fair. You know I got two pigs.”

Someone has written “Giving is not a way of raising money. It is God’s way of raising men.”

There are more reasons for giving than those shared below but I believe these reasons are primary.
First
1. Law – God commands it.
2. Love – gratitude demands it
3.
Second
It is natural – contrary to all selfish opinions, it is the nature of man to share. When he restricts this nature, he begins to shrivel up inside.

Third
Discipline. Someone has written “The future of the world lies in the hands of disciplined people.”

Let me close with this thought.
