GIVE!

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in
My house, and try Me now in this,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘If I
will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such a
blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi
3:10 NKJV

Tithing! We have all heard this scripture verse. This scripture is
used to remind us to give; to give our first and best; to give back to
God, a small portion of what He gives us. The scriptures remind us that He
will bless us and it goes on to say that He will rebuke the devourer
for our sakes. We will be blessed. How about increasing the blessing?
Give!

The question today is, would you consider tithing your life? Although
we need to always serve; pray; worship; praise; study; etc., it is so
easy to get caught up in day to day activities and routines. What would
you say to tithing your time each day? 10% of your waking hours, every
day, dedicated to God; dedicated to prayer, worship, studying, seeking?
10 % of your best time; your most alert time; uninterrupted time. Give!

Perhaps you can get up a couple of hours early; giving Him your first
and your best…preparing for your daily assignments and your daily
instructions; surrendering and yielding to hear from your
Father…everyday. Not for 10 minutes, not for 30 minutes; not as you run out to your
car, or while you are cooking breakfast…Just you, God and His Word.
Imagine how much more your blessings would be. If you didn’t just tithe
money, but you are actually giving of yourself. Without excuse; not
sporadically; not just on weekends; not just on Sunday…but as you would
owe Him time from each day, knowing that without Him you would not be
here today. Give!

Can you imagine the blessing He would pour out then? Can you imagine
the relationship you would have with your Father? Can you imagine how you
would be prepared for whatever you would face throughout the day?
Give!
