We’ve all heard about how disaster victims are sometimes showered with donations of clothes by people wanting to help.
And we’ve all heard that those clothes on too many occasions have been old and apparently unwanted by those giving them.
Not a good message for people needing encouragement as much as anything else.
Let’s make sure that we don’t do the same thing to God.
Let’s write our tithe check to Him first each week rather than after we’ve spent on bills, needs and wants.
Let’s make sure that we give Him the first day each week for worship and learning rather than snippets of time here and there after we’ve spent all of our other waking time on work and play.
That way, we’ll honor the teaching that God gave Moses on Mt. Sinai:
“As you harvest your crops, bring the very best of the first harvest to the house of the Lord your God.” (Exodus 34:26)
God gave His best for us.
Let’s give our best for Him.
As always, I love you
Martin
