Embedded Files
We can worship God through generosity.
Generosity means sharing all one has (time, talents, and treasures) out of gratitude for God's grace and to give God glory.
We see an example of generosity in the Bible with the story of Ruth. Both Naomi and Ruth were generous in the story: Naomi was generous because she took care of Ruth and Orpah when their husbands died. Ruth was generous because she went to Judah with Naomi to take care of her and be her family.

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.
The verse tells us that everything belongs to God. What does that mean to you?
