Faithful with Our Tithe

Scripture Leviticus 27:30 ” `A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.

Observation: God owns everything and it is only on loan to us. God asks only a tenth back as an offering and for most of us that is very difficult to do. I’ve heard people that are financially strapped that they cannot afford to give God the tithe owed to Him and that will be their mistake. Our God doesn’t need anything from us, only our obedience. He knows are sinful ways and knows that it is difficult for us to give up anything, but He is ready to bless us when we are obedient to Him. He is owed a tithe on everything and that includes our most precious gift, time and I know from my past experiences God is faithful to His word and boy can He bless.

Application: I need to always be faithful to give back what God commands me to and more. It shouldn’t just stop with my tithe, but I need to be more generous with all the Lord has given me and especially my time.

Prayer: My Lord soften my heart and give me a generous spirit. Show me that this all belongs to you and that there is nothing that belongs to me so that I may give more freely. Show me how to bless others with what you have blessed me with.
