Blessed or Stressed: Pt 5 - Day 2
Day 2: The Principle of First Things First
Reading: Malachi 3:8-12
Devotional: "Test me in this," God invites—the only place in Scripture where He asks us to test Him. Tithing isn't about God needing your money; it's about you trusting His provision. When we give God our first and best, we declare He's our source, not our salary. The storehouse principle reminds us that blessing flows through community, not just to individuals. Many live stressed because they're trying to protect 100% themselves instead of trusting God with 90% after giving Him 10%. It's not mathematics; it's faith. When you honor God first, He opens floodgates. Start where you are. Even if finances are tight, give God the first portion and watch Him multiply the rest.
Reflection Question: What would change in your life if you truly believed God is your provider?
