Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe WHO IS THE MAN WHO FEARS THE LORD? GIVER vs. TAKER TWO PERSPECTIVES ON GIVING v5 - Willing Gift vs. Exaction v6 - Sparingly vs Bountifully v7 - Reluctantly vs. Cheerful Giver Psalm 112:9 He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. John Piper Even when this person hears a command coming from God, he hears it as a hopeful gift not a depleting demand. Psalm 112:9 He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. Seneca no gratitude is felt for a [gift] when it has lingered long in the hands of him who gives it, when the giver has seemed sorry to let it go, and has given it with the air of one who was robbing himself. Proverbs 11:24 One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Proverbs 11:26 The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.
