Proverbs chapter 22 verse 9

whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed

for he shares his bread with the poor.

What a great phrase.

What a great description.

I don't think and I've read proverbs before but I don't think I've ever

noticed this phrase whoever has a bountiful eye like I've never really prayed for a bountiful eye, but it makes sense, doesn't it?

An eye that is looking for ways to be generous, that is looking for those in need and looking to help, like a bountiful

eye, like looking around for ways to be generous and gracious and loving and kind toward others a bountiful eye.

Oh God, I pray right now, I think for the first time

for a bountiful eye. I pray for this in my life. I pray that you

help me to look today like to look for opportunities to show your love, share your gospel, show your mercy, generously

give toward others in need. God give me a bountiful eye today. I pray this for each one of us who's

listening to this. We pray for bountiful eyes today. Whoever has a bountiful

eye will be blessed for he shares his bread with the poor?

Oh God specifically we see here that there's a specific application here not just a bountiful eye generally, but a bountiful eye toward the poor.

God, we pray, you would help us to see to look for those who have physical needs

around us and help us to be generous toward them.

Give us bountiful eyes toward the poor.

And in spiritual need, God help us to see people in spiritual need, without the gospel people who are hurting in this way or that way

Have bountiful eyes to reach out to them and to care for them in their need to bring them the good news of your love.
