Yep, I am still in Proverbs 3 but today it is verses 9-10. The Message translation read like this: "Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over." The NIV version specifically says "wealth." This is a great promise. Give God His tithe first and He will bless you with more than you can hold. Sounds simple right? But for me it's not that simple when it is payday and I have bills. It then becomes a battle of tithe v. bills. Quite often bills win. But if you want new things you have to do the right thing!
But I must be authentic and say it is easy to write this on day 2 of the new year. This isn't payday. What will I do when the check comes? I want to honor God. I just have to put my money where my faith is.
