Read Deuteronomy 26:1 through 27:26
The secret to the growth of living organisms is multiplication by division. This principle works in the financial realm also. Investors must give up a portion of their money to gain more. God’s law of financial growth is the tithe.
When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, . . you shall give it to the Levite, the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat . . and be satisfied (Deuteronomy 26:12).
Unlike investors, those who tithe can’t lose. God has promised us this. “ ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it’ ” (Malachi 3:10).
When resources are strained you may be tempted to withhold the tithe until things get better. However, if you remain faithful to God’s command, He will supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19).
PRAYER SUGGESTION:
God, help me to be faithful in bringing the tithe to Your house.
