God entrusts believers in His Son with spiritual and tangible blessings to be shared, not hoarded: “Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee” (Proverbs 3:28). When God stirs your heart to help someone or act kindly, your delayed response causes postponed or missed blessings, opportunities you cannot always recapture.
No matter how reasonable the excuse,
putting off until tomorrow what you should do today is disobedience, and God
doesn’t promise a tomorrow. We are not to withhold good from others when we have
the resources to help (v. 27). When God lavishes abundant blessings, He expects
faithfulness from His stewards in handling those investments. When He blesses much,
God expects much (Luke 12:48). If you don’t act when you know you should, you have
sinned: “Therefore, to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him
it is sin” (James 4:17).
