God Introduces the Subject of Tithing

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Genesis 14:18-20

Steps 4, 5, 10, 11, 12

Tithing means to give 10% of your income to God. Hebrews 7:1-2 Abram gave this tithe to God’ priest Melchizedek. Tithe is a testimony that all which came to you came through the intervention of God. Tithe is a testimony to God that you recognize that He sent you the gift of work, health, opportunity, and success that you are experiencing. Tithe helps His church operate on a safe secure basis and helps other people to find a recovery level relationship with God. Tithe also helps us to keep us safe from the idea that recovery is based on our works. Tithe keeps our hearts soft and open with God.

Prayer for Today: God thank You for supplying us with all of the resources that You grant us. Thank You for protecting us from the idea that we take care of ourselves. Thank You for allowing us to see that You provide us with all of the resources and all of the ideas necessary to accomplish Your holy will. Help us to remember You in all that we do. Keep our hearts soft and open to You and Your guidance and help us to acknowledge Your care by giving You tithe.
