Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule:
Leviticus 26-27
Key Thought:
The tithe is man’s acknowledgment that he is a steward of God’s creation. The Lord alone is Creator and owner of heaven and earth, and man is God’s servant. Whatever material wealth man can accumulate is the direct gift of God. Therefore, in the tithe, man gives back to God His due by giving back a specific portion, at a specific place.
A tithe is simply a standard reminder that all we have belongs to God, and God certainly has a plan for how He would like His things managed. I fear that many people have taken ownership of that which never belonged to them. As we have learned throughout this book, Our Heavenly Father is a God of great detail. He certainly takes careful notice of how we use the things He has entrusted to us. May we be faithful servants and stewards for His glory.
