Proverbs 22:9

Proverbs 22:9

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

A 'bountiful eye' is a generous, open-hearted way of looking at the world — seeing others' needs and responding. The specific act here is sharing bread — food — with the poor. Generosity is both a character trait and a blessing-receiving posture: those who give generously receive God's blessing in return.

Memory phrase: Give generously. God blesses it.

Talk about it: How can you share what you have with someone who needs it?

Prayer: God, give me a generous heart for those with less.
