the June 15 2013 W pg 13, para 6&7 has an experience of a pioneer that needed $66 to pay her rent the next day. She prayed and went to work at her job as a waitress. When she finished her shift she had received a total of $66 in tips. The text then said 'Nancy is convinced that Jehovah generously provided exactly what she needed'.
Generous means "liberal in giving, marked by abundance or ample proportions"
That does not sound liberal or abundance. If she needed $66, generous would be $660 or $6600 dollars or more.
Malachi 1 says Bring all the tenth parts+ into the storehouse, that there may come to be food in my house;+ and test me out, please, in this respect,”+ Jehovah of armies has said, “whether I shall not open to YOU people the floodgates of the heavens+ and actually empty out upon YOU a blessing until there is no more want"
That is what generous is. What about the next month or for other needs?
Back in the days when Israel crossed the Red Sea, that news traveled around of his great works. And also at the time of Rahab. But now we have $66 dollars. What happened to the the way of things of old? I'm not saying he would help people win lotto, as that would mean that he would be helping others lose. But I would expect bigger things from a generous provision.
