Key Scripture: Proverbs 11:25
A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
Devotional
Serving others not only blesses them but refreshes us. God designed generosity to be a river, not a reservoir-what flows out is replenished by Him. As we refresh others with prayer, presence, or practical help, we often find our own spirits renewed.
The enemy tells us we have nothing left to give; God invites us to bring the little we have and watch Him multiply it. Refreshing others is not about abundance but willingness.
Often the refreshment we long for is on the other side of simple obedience. In stepping out to bless another, we step into the flow of God’s blessing ourselves.
Ask God who needs refreshment today. Offer what you have, trusting Him to pour back into you.
