The word “tithe” literally means tenth or 10%. Tithing, or giving ten percent of your income, isn’t merely giving something to God. It’s giving back what was his to begin with. All that we have, or hope to have, comes from him. The Bible says that tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything. It teaches us to always put God first in our lives.

Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). Matthew 1:20-23 NIV
protoevangelium = first gospel
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.
Genesis 3:15
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14 NIV
Just because God feels silent, doesn’t mean God is absent.
•Intertestamental Period: 400-year period after the Old Testament ends and before the New Testament begins.
While you are waiting, God is working.
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Galatians 4:4-5 NIV
—complete, full measure, the perfect time
But when the time was right … Galatians 4:4 CEV
But when the fullness of time had come … Galatians 4:4 ESV
God’s delays are not necessarily God’s denials.
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.
Isaiah 64:4 NIV
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 NIV
What if the God you are waiting for is waiting for you?
