TITHE, EVEN IN YOUR LAST.
The world says, "Take care of yourself first." But God says, "Honor Me first." Faith is not demonstrated when giving is easy—it is revealed when obedience remains even in seasons of lack.
Many people wait until they have plenty before they give to God. Yet throughout Scripture, God calls His people to trust Him before they see the provision. Tithing is not about losing money—it is about declaring that God is your Source, not your salary. It is an act of worship that says, "Lord, I trust You more than I trust my bank account."
God gave this powerful promise in Malachi 3:10 (NKJV):
> "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it."
This is one of the few places in Scripture where God invites His people to test His faithfulness through obedient giving. His promise is not merely about material wealth, but about His abundant provision, care, and blessing according to His perfect will.
Giving your tithe should never be motivated by fear, guilt, or the desire to become rich. It should flow from a grateful heart that recognizes everything we have belongs to God. Whether you have much or little, He deserves your first and your best.
When your wallet says, "You can't afford to give," let your faith answer, "I can't afford not to obey God." The God who fed Elijah through ravens, multiplied the widow's oil, and provided manna in the wilderness is still the same faithful God today.
Your last may be little in human eyes, but in God's hands, faithful obedience is never wasted.
Honor God first. Trust Him completely. Tithe, even in your last—because God's provision is always greater than your lack. 🙏📖
