9 Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all
your crops; 10 then
your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over
with new wine.
Proverbs 3:9-10 NIV
I don't know about you but I want the very best and the most that God has for me. These verses tell us that if we will give God the 'first' of our crops, then He will fill our barns to overflowing. I believe that 'crops' in this sense is not just the crops of the field. I believe it is anything and everything that we are blessed with...our time, our income, our talents! When we love someone, we want to give them good gifts, right? That shouldn't be different when that someone is God. He is our creator and He deserves the absolute very best!!!
I challenge you to take a look at your life...take a look at the many blessings God has given you. If you find an area where you have given Him less than the 'firstfruits' then make a change. The Word promises if you will give God the first and best of everything in your life, you will see a change and He will bless you more and more!
Have a blessed day!
Have a blessed day!
So true! Love this reminder to give to God what is His and give to Him the firsts.
