7 Reasons to Tithe - Part 7 of 7

Sorry for such a long time since my last post. For some reason, my blog site has been down all week. Fortunately, however, it's back up this evening. First of all, I want to wish each of you a very blessed Easter! Because Christ has risen, we can have eternal life!

And now, for the last installment regarding tithing... part 7 of 7... Proving and Strengthening Our Faith

Finally, in our giving we should press toward the tithe and beyond because it will prove and strengthen our faith in God promises.

There is an absolute correlation between faith in the promises of God and peace of mind in giving away what we may think we need but don't. Hebrews 13:5 puts it like this: Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; [why? because of a promise] for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you."

Every time you doubt that you can live on 90% of your income, let the glorious promise of God strengthen your faith: "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19).

What tithing boils down to is a faith issue. Do we trust God's promises? I appeal to you, trust God. He will never fail or forsake you. He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. You can trust Him my friend.
