Well, tax day is upon us. It is a time of year when we are preoccupied with the thought of money. It's easy for us to become upset with our government for how much is taken from us. Let us not forget, however, the great privilege to live in America. We are truly blessed.
Money is an interesting topic in the Bible. Jesus taught a lot about money. Solomon's words of wisdom, recorded for us in the book of Proverbs, often centered on the subject of money. So, this time of year, when our hearts are a little raw about the subject, it might do us good to remember what the Bible teaches about it. God's Word says:
Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10)
Put simply, to give of our money to God, is to honor Him. It is an act of worship. And when we so worship Him, He promises to multiply the gift. Now I'm not saying that if you give $10.00 to God, He promises to give you back a multiplied amount of money. God doesn't always pay us back in kind. But He does pay back. He does bless our gifts.
It is not possible to out give our giving God!
