The Best Things In Life | Wednesday
Wednesday | June 03
Focus of the Week:
Tithing is not about God getting something from us, but God doing something in us. As we learn to honor God first with what we’ve been given, we begin to grow in trust, loosen our grip on fear, and experience the freedom that comes from living open-handed.

Scripture
Scripture Helps Us Hear God And Live His Truth.
What Comes First Matters
What we put first reveals what we trust most.
It’s easy to say God is first, but our priorities often tell a different story. Especially when it comes to finances, we tend to give what’s left instead of what’s first.
But this verse invites us into something deeper.
Not obligation, but honor. Not leftovers, but intentional trust. Putting God first isn’t about the amount, it’s about the position of our heart. It’s choosing to trust Him before we see how everything will work out.
That can feel uncomfortable. Because it means releasing control. It means trusting before we feel ready. It means believing God will provide, even when we can’t see how.
But when we put God first, we begin to reorder our lives around Him instead of our fears.
And that changes everything.
