My take on tithing..

Now that I've started working somewhat consistently I'm getting paid... lolz obviously right? So it feels good to get cash stashed in your pocket where you can just get stuff you can't when you didn't have the financial freedom. But then with the capability to spend also comes the responsibility to save. And that's something I've so far failed to do... well not because i didn't plan. I did plan but things happen see... like computer breaking down, motorbike breaking down... getting ripped off by repair guy by the road.. -.- and so on.. So yeah failed i did in trying to save... sigh...

But well like any good Christian would... I would give my tenth to God. Now then the question that comes in is.. how much should i give then if i get more because of the crazy OT pays i get. So i thought to myself.. well i should definitely give 10% of my agreed upon income paid to me, and the rest is bonus right?? haha well....... NO. But i struggled with that for a bit. I kept thinking c'mon.. That was my Over Sweat poured into my Over Time so it should be my bonus.. after all i've given my tenth so this IS the bonus i'm getting. But then i think God gently poked my brain and said.. "well, where did you get the strength or the life to go through that OT?" then i was dumbfounded.. literally. So... i was like
"Ok, God thank You for reminding me that you are the giver of life and all things, so giving back to You is just my show of appreciation to something that can never be repaid in full."
Seriously what God has given us and enabled us to do is far more worth than what we can keep for ourselves. We should not feel obliged or burdened to give to God, but rather with such a thankful heart because knowing that we are alive alone is God given and to be able to work is a blessing from God. imagine if you were immobilized and not being able to work, nothing you can do, life would definitely mean nothing. So give to God because of all He has given you. LIFE!
