TITHING
Today's reading: Deuteronomy 13-15

"...The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to fear the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 14:23 NLT

I'm believe wholeheartedly in the discipline of tithing. I've seen the blessings from it. I've watched as the 'mite' has been given and the 'storehouse' filled to overflowing. I've experienced, firsthand, the multiplication process God uses to bless the giving and the attitude behind it.

Where I struggle is tithing more than our paycheck.

When it goes beyond writing a check.

When it reaches farther into my heart and life than coins or currency can account for.

Like when I'm convicted about the time I tithe to Him.

Or the talents I choose to give a goodly portion of.

Or the space of my heart that He so desires to occupy.

Tithing means much more than the money, it's all about the life. Am I giving my appropriate portion to Him?
