The first level of giving is “regular giving.” Your offering is given regularly, and the amount is based on your income. The Bible calls this a tithe, and it is equal to one tenth of your income. (See Lev. 27:30) The apostle Paul writes, “On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income” (1 Corinthians 16:2 MSG). Do this and the Lord promises to bless you.
“Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
— Malachi 3:10 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, help us to excel in the grace of giving. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
