Do You Trust God?

​The Bible tells us that tithing is a way to show that we trust God with our lives and our finances. Because here is the deal: Tithing is not for God’s benefit. He does not need our money. Instead, tithing is meant for our benefit because sacrificing a portion of our income reminds us to rely on God to meet our needs. Plus, it makes us more aware of the needs of others.

​To have the right attitude in giving, we must first put God as our number one priority in our lives. Seeking first God and His will becomes the most important thing in our lives.

"If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life."
- Billy Graham

​Giving encourages a grateful and generous spirit and can help steer us away from greed and discontent. Plus, I always say that being outrageously generous is the most fun you will ever have with money! And it starts with tithing.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

A giving attitude means giving voluntarily. The only gift that honors God is the one that comes freely from a willing, loving heart. Jesus taught us that our giving transcends the legal obligation of the Hebrew religion. Our inward intention is crucial. It is as important as the outward act of giving.
