Fearless Giving
February 26, 2018
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.
Malachi 3:10
When my son Xavier was six years old, a friend brought her toddler to visit and Xavier wanted to give him a few toys. I delighted in our little givers generosity, until he offered a stuffed animal my husband had searched several stores in different cities to find. Recognizing the high-demand toy, my friend tried to politely decline. Still, Xavier placed his gift into her sons hands and said, My daddy gives me lots of toys to share.
Though Id like to say Xavier learned his confident giving from me, Ive often withheld my resources from God and others. But when I remember that my heavenly Father gives me everything I have and need, its easier to share.
In the Old Testament, God commanded the Israelites to trust Him by giving a portion of all He had supplied to the Levite priests, who would in turn help others in need. When the people refused, the prophet Malachi said they were robbing the Lord (Malachi 3:89). But if they gave willingly, showing they trusted the Lords promised provision and protection (vv. 1011), others would recognize them as Gods blessed people (v. 12).
Whether were managing our finances, our schedules, or the gifts God entrusted to us, giving can be an act of worship. Giving freely and fearlessly can show our confidence in the care of our loving Fatherthe ultimate generous Giver.
Lord, please help us live with full confidence in Your faithful provision, so we can give freely and fearlessly to You and others.
Fearless giving to God and others reveals our trust in the Lords promises and provision.
The command to give a tithe (one-tenth) of ones income to God was central in ancient Israel (Leviticus 27:30; Deuteronomy 12:56; 2 Chronicles 31:45). In Israels God-ruled government, the tithe helped to provide for the Levitical tribe, which offered sacrifices to the Lord and assisted in temple work (Numbers 18:21, 26), as well as provide for the poor. Todays passage gives us a stirring warning about the neglect of giving to God, calling it robbery (Malachi 3:89).
When Christ came, He fulfilled the demands of the Mosaic law (see Galatians 3:1013), and there is no longer a required tithe. Instead, believers are encouraged to regularly give to the Lord in proportion to their income and with an attitude of generosity (1 Corinthians 16:2; 2 Corinthians 9:67). Giving is an act of worship and generous giving can show our confidence in the God of grace.
In what ways can you worship God this week through your generosity?
