Even The Mint In Our Garden

Why is it that when I was making almost no money, I found it easy to tithe.  Because $50 a month doesn't seem like that much money?  How come now that I'm making more money I find it so difficult to tithe.  It's still ten percent.  It's still a dime of every dollar.

Someone I know used to say that this is the only area in the Bible where God says TEST ME and see what I do.  I need to do some research and confirm that because, WOW, if that's true!

I have been really convicted about this lately.  Starting tomorrow I'm tithing out of every paycheck AND following the 10-10-80 principle of tithe 10%, save 10%, and live off the remaining 80%.  This is my version of a contract with myself (yes, this blog is equal to a Bible days oath! Haha) so feel free to keep me accountable and ask how it's going!

  1. Awesome. God is so good...I have been faithfully tithing for years now, and I have NEVER gone without. I have also seen God do miracles. It's worth testing Him in! It's His money anyway, He just loans it to us. :)
