Giving in God's Rhythm

Commentators explain that the four-month period of giving was perfectly aligned with Israel's agricultural and festival calendar. It began in the third month with the wheat harvest (Pentecost) and ended in the seventh month with the final harvest (Feast of Tabernacles). This shows a faith integrated with daily life, where giving flowed naturally from God's provision.
