I recently read a post on http://www.bealivingsacrifice.blogspot/ regarding blind spots in our lives. I believe that we should pray, and ask God to reveal any blind spots in our lives to us. He in his mercy will reveal these things to us.
I have also been praying, and asking God to reveal any blind spots in my life. Of course he has done exactly that. I am so glad that God loves us, and wants us to be the best that we can be. My issue was with my tithing committment. I am not going to say that if you don't tithe you are going to hell. That is not my place, but I do know how God is dealing with me on this issue.
I do not have a problem with giving. Atleast, I didn't think I did, however only giving on my terms isn't what God wanted for me. When I give God my first fruits, I am showing God that I love him, and I am trusting him to take care of me. By not giving, or only giving what I feel I can "afford" is not giving God the credit he so deserves. It also shows a lack of FAITH on my part.
If God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? Luke 12:28
When we seek to please God more than ourselves, God will bless you. I should know this by now, so it really makes me angry that I have to learn this principles over and over.
In all things that we do we must it heartily unto the Lord. Not begrudging!!! God is worth is due!!!
