You Can't Out-give God

April 16

I receive a 1099 from a client that reveals I earned $2500 the previous year for consulting services. I check my log but there is no entry showing a tithing (10%) gift of $250 to give back the first fruits to God.

The next mail is an appeal from the Jesus Film Project.. The cost to train and equip a team- yep you guessed it, $250. OK Lord. I write a check. I receive an unexpected call. I’m to get $250 for drafting a national report. But I’m not even with God, now I owe a $25 tithe on the new $250. You can’t out give God but it can be fun trying.

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be food in My house.”
(Malachi 3:10)
