Wow, what a concept!!
90% with God equals more than 100% without Him!!!! nough said!!!
Today's Tip ~
Be a good example!
I was one of the fortunate ones. Growing up in Godly home, I can remember sitting in my Sunday best every week and watching my daddy go their top dresser drawer and pull out a small preprinted envelope (that was provided by our church) and place a check in it each week before we headed out to morning service.
When it came time for me to get married and establish my own household, tithing was a concept that was so modeled to me as a young girl, there was no question what to do!! There was just no doubt in my mind, you give to God out of your first fruits!! It hasn't always been easy (we have made some silly financial mistakes along the way), but for the most part we have given to Him first and He has proven to us that 90% with Him is far greater then 100% without Him.
Because of my up-bringing, I have always been very open with our boys and now as adults it is easy for them to give of their first fruits. So be sure to be a good example, after all, don't you want the best for them besides yourselves?
I know in this time of financial difficulty, finances can be a tough a subject, but this is one subject (tithing) where you won't hear me say take baby steps. Today's scripture, Malachi 3:10 is the only place (to the best of my knowledge) where God challenges us to test Him, so do it!!
By now we have established our TAG, memorized 10 verses, made it through diet, exercise, cranberry water {: and household organization, if you are still hanging in there with me, this week should be a piece a cake.

Proverbs 31 teaches so many growth areas for women. In these times of easy credit, many people live on money that they don't actually have. This has caused many to fall into such debt that they can barely pay regular monthly bills, let alone tithe. It's a matter of renewing priorities and creating a sacrificial financial plan that honors God first.
Money tests our faith like few other areas of life.
This is a big struggle for me, not because of poor spending. But more helping with the family budget which has really hurt. I've been putting aside a little at the beginning of each month to tithe and the past year has not been easy and I'll admit that I may not always get to the 10% as some has gone just to be able to keep my apartment. If anything its really taught me the importance of not spending on things that I don't need simply because I don't have the money. This is going to be a tough week to get through.
