Watches And Wallets!
"Be sure to set aside a tenth of all
that your fields produce each year."
Deuteronomy 14: 22
Walter Knight tells about a woman whose nerves were always on
edge. Though she was a Christian, her face always looked
strained.
One day a friend saw her and noticed a huge change. She seemed
at peace, and her face reflected joy. What had made the difference?
She replied, “When I first became a Christian, I tithed my income.
Now I tithe my time also. I see to it that He has a tenth of my day,
my quiet waiting on Him. Truly He has undertaken for my
every
need, and I praise Him.”
In truth, God owns all our money and all our time,
but He allows us to be stewards over it. When we
tithe our income faithfully to Him, it pleases
Him
and extends His Kingdom.
As we tithe our time to Him, we’re showing
Him that He has first place in our priorities.
When God possesses the first portions of both
our watches and our wallets, He undertakes
for
our every need, and we praise
Him.
"God entrusts me with his money
not to build my Kingdom on earth,
but to build his Kingdom in eternity."
