Honor the Lord with your Wealth

And His reminders did not stop there.

He continued.

Proverbs 3:9-10

Honor the Lord with your wealth,

    with the firstfruits of all your crops;

then your barns will be filled to overflowing,

    and your vats will brim over with new wine.

He reminded me that when I already get His blessings, I must not forget Him. Yes, most of us, when we acquire the blessings, forget the Blesser. Remember what happened to the Israelites? After God miraculously provided them food to eat and water to drink in the desert, they forgot God and then turn their heads to their lifeless idols. Sad but true.

This is also a reinforcement of what He told in Proverbs 3:6, acknowledging Him in ALL my ways, even after the blessings have been given – honoring Him with the firstfruits of all my “crops”.

This is the essence of tithing.

Lord, thank you for Your everlasting blessings. Lord, oftentimes we forget to give thanks to you after we receive the blessings Lord. Forgive us Father and help us to give you honor and praise not only when we need you, but most especially during and after the time of Your help.  We love you our Father Almighty.
