God, help me to remember that I put You first over everything. No matter my struggles in life, I seek You first, praise You first and honor You first, whether it by the actions of my hands, the words of my mouth of the first of my storehouse.
When I feel under appreciated at work, You are there. When there is tension in my marriage, You are there. When I stress through my spirituality, You are there. And when I feel very undeserving of Your grace, You give it.
Why?
So what is this all about? Well, for many years, I have wanted to honor God with my finances, but have struggled with how to do it. I have always had a reason why I can't this pay period or why we shouldn't give this week. It's really a control thing of mine - fear of something going wrong, being short in the checking account, or any of 100 other reasons.
But I need to be part of the mission. So I have started giving something consistently, and trust that God will bless me for being a joyful giver. This is my journey towards giving 10%.
