Proverbs 11:25 — Wednesday, June 10, 2026

This proverb turns upside down the common logic that giving means losing. Solomon teaches that generosity is a cycle of blessing: the generous soul prospers, and the one who waters will be watered himself. The image is agricultural: those who water other people's fields will not see their own dry up. The prosperity here is not only material but the joy of those who discover the value of sharing. Some hoard everything and live dry inside; others share and receive far more back. God delights in an open heart that blesses its neighbor. Today the text challenges us to look at people with generosity. Giving is not losing; it is sowing.
