Giveing

Giving God his 10%???? Today before I left work I was asked if tomarrow I could show where in the Bible did it say we are to give 10%????????? Well I have some answers: Genesis 28:22 “And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to you.” Numbers 18:25-26 Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying , ” Speak thus to the Levites, and say to them: When you take from the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them as your inheritance, the you shall offer up a heave offering of it to the Lord, a tenth of the tithe. And then in Hebrews 7:5 And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham; 7:6 but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. So you see God wants us to give 10% and He will bless us for that but the true blessings come when we go above the 10% and give our all to Him, just like the poor widow who gave her two mites, she gave her all.. We need to stop and ask ourselves is it going to hurt us if we give to God what is His, after all if it was not for Him we may not have a place tow eat, sleep, or work. God bless you all……………………
