Beyond the Tithe
Devotional: While the concept of tithing provides a helpful starting point for generous living, God invites us into something even more transformative. True biblical generosity often naturally extends beyond the traditional ten percent as we grow in our trust and experience of God's faithfulness. This isn't about meeting a quota; it's about allowing God's generous nature to flow through us more freely. As we open our hands and hearts wider, we often discover that God's provision exceeds our expectations.
Key Bible Verse: "Don't lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, but lay up for yourself treasures in heaven." - Matthew 6:20
Reflection Question: How might God be calling you to expand your understanding and practice of generosity beyond traditional tithing?
Quote: "Scripture talks about 10%, that we are to give 10%, that's a tithe. But that isn't the stopping point. That is a good starting point."
Prayer: God, help me see beyond traditional giving patterns and embrace Your call to radical generosity. Show me new ways to be generous with all You've given me. Amen.
