We are reading chapter seven in the book of Hebrews today. What a wonderful God who blesses us and only asks for a tithe back to show our appreciation for His gifts. God allows us to keep 90% to use for His glory as we see fit. So out of every dollar, God only asks that we return ten cents joyfully and willfully. Now we can give over and above to missions and other great projects, but God asks that we give the tithe. Guess what? When we thank God by returning a portion of what he blessed us with, God promises to open a window of blessing unto us. Our God will give back unto us exceedingly more than we give to Him.
Why do we miss this and hold back our dime? I find that it is because my flesh thinks I earned it and it is mine. It is mine to do what I want with, but who blessed us with health, and our employment? God. I also see we hold back because we lack the faith to trust God for our needs tomorrow. God is faithful, you and I can trust Him.
