Giving That Pleases God
Commentators explain that the phrase "He hath dispersed" describes a generosity that is liberal, widespread, and frequent, not stingy or reluctant. John Calvin adds a crucial dimension, noting that this giving is also wise and discreet—it's directed toward the truly needy, not squandered for personal recognition or ambition. True biblical charity is both open-handed and thoughtful.
