Finding Your Financial Pathنموونە

Jesus says we should tithe.

God cares how we manage everything that He’s given to us. If God didn’t care, the Bible wouldn’t have more than 2,000 verses about money and money management.

When it comes to honoring God with our money, the first step for every Christian is to tithe. Tithing is bringing the first 10 percent of your income back to God through the local church. When we bring back a percentage of our income in the tithe, we thank God, show that we trust Him and fight against greed by putting God first in our finances.

Not only is tithing important to God, it is an essential part of money management. Many have believed the lie, “I can’t afford to tithe.” The truth is everyone can afford to tithe. God promises to provide for our every need and asks us to trust Him with what He’s already given to us.

Think About:
1. Are you tithing? Why or why not?
2. What does it say about God that He owns everything, but only wants us to return 10 percent?
3. Who are you trusting to provide for your family? What would it look like to trust God to provide?

Pray:
Dear Jesus, give me courage to always put You first in my finances. Thank You for giving generously to me even though I don’t deserve it.
