Deuteronomy 26: A fresh perspective on tithing and generosity 👏🏻 💵 🙏🏻

“Then, in the Lord's presence you will recite these words: ‘My ancestor was a wandering Aramean, who took his family to Egypt to live. They were few in number when they went there, but they became a large and powerful nation. The Egyptians treated us harshly and forced us to work as slaves. Then we cried out for help to the Lord, the God of our ancestors. He heard us and saw our suffering, hardship, and misery. By his great power and strength he rescued us from Egypt. He worked miracles and wonders, and caused terrifying things to happen. He brought us here and gave us this rich and fertile land. So now I bring to the Lord the first part of the harvest that he has given me.’ “Then set the basket down in the Lord's presence and worship there.” Deuteronomy 26:5-10 GNT

It’s interesting. I love how the Lord continues to highlight fresh aspects around the power of tithing. I say power because when we obey what the Lord asks, it truly blesses us richly. Learning new things keeps me humble!!! Just when I think I have something mastered the Lord highlights a NEW THING…not just a command to be obeyed and certainly not just a ritual.   It truly is a time of celebration and a space for Intentional celebration, vocalizing and remembering how good God has been, prayers that have been answered, provision that has been given and the Lords goodness.
