It's all mine!

It was a hot dry day. I took my my son Seth to the kithen to give him a nice suprise. I pulled out of the freezer a nice ice lolly. He was so happy that he immediately dug into it. I waited a while and then I asked him for a bite. He pulled away and did not want to give me any. It was not that I wanted any, I merely wanted to see if he would share with me. Little did he know, there were three more in the freezer waiting to be eaten.

This incident made me think about our Father’s heart. God gives us so much and He only askes ten percent of that back. Everything He gives us belongs to Him anyway and yet we are so reluctant to to give back to Him. In Micah 3:10 it tells us about giving a tenth. This is the only place in the Word where God allows us to test Him. Have you tested Him to see if He is faithful?

I have heard so many people say:”but tithing is Old Testament, I’m not giving anything anymore”. What a cop-out! The Bible speaks about giving far more than any other subject. If, for arguments sake tithing was only relevant to the Old Testament, we should in actual fact give 100% and not 10%. For the New Testament says in John 3:15 that God gave His all, so we too should give our ALL to Christ.

Let’s give to our Father and experience His Faithfulnes in our lives.

P.S: It is not just money that is talked about here!
