“Honor the Lord with your possessions and with the first produce of your entire harvest; then your barns will be completely filled, and your vats will overflow with new wine.” -Proverbs 3:9-10
Have you ever noticed that God’s instruction for our lives often goes completely against our human understanding?
In our human minds, first comes comfort in finances, then comes the willingness to give.
God is calling for us, “Don’t seek comfort in finances, seek comfort in the Lord.” Give freely when you have little and God will bless your willingness to give and your trust in Him.
But isn’t that exactly what it’s supposed to be like? We are called to stand out differently from the majority.
Because when you have little, there’s no doubt in anybody’s mind that your love and your heart and your desire are not for possession.
Let us seek first the kingdom of God and pray that His will be done whether that means abundant blessing in possessions or not.
The abundance of wisdom and understanding are truly the only blessings our hearts should desire when we give freely the first produce of our harvest.
