Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; (Proverbs 3:9 NIV) Gods Provision: Faithful Giving There is a universal law called the principle of sowing and reaping. If I sow generosity, its going to come back to me, and Im going to reap generosity. Every farmer knows this. A farmer has four sacks of seed in his barn and he looks at his empty field. He doesnt complain, Theres no crop! I wish there was a crop! He just goes out and starts planting seed. When you have a need, plant a seed. It seems illogical that when I have a need, I should give. Why did God set it up that way? Because God is a giver. He is the most generous giver in the universe, and God wants you to learn to be like him. He wants to build character in you. The Bible says, Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. (Proverbs 3:9 NLT) This is the principle of tithing. Its the principle that says every time I make $100 -- the first $10 goes back to God. Tithing is an act of worship. Were giving to God. Were saying, All of it came from you anyway. God says, Put me first in your life and watch what I do. You may think you cant afford to tithe, but the reality is, you cant afford not to. - Pastor Rick Warrens Daily Devotional
