Devotional Thought
“Tithing and Giving” is more than a religious act; it’s a spiritual discipline that enriches our lives.
When we tithe, we’re not just giving away a portion of our income; we’re acknowledging that everything we have comes from God.
This act of faith can transform our perspective on material possessions and lead us to a deeper trust in God’s provision.
In Malachi 3:10, God invites us to test Him in our giving, promising to open the floodgates of heaven in response.
This isn’t just about financial blessings.
It’s about experiencing the fullness of God’s grace and provision in every area of our lives.
When we give, we align our hearts with God’s heart.
We learn to value what He values and love as He loves.
