Can You Be Too Generous?
Read Numbers 31:51-53
Today’s Truth
If we understand everything is a gift, not something we deserve, then giving a portion back to the Giver as a tithe looks like thankfulness. Sharing our wealth with other people is God-ordained generosity. God’s heart for how we need to handle His gifts hasn't changed since the time of ancient Israel.
In Numbers 31, God told Moses to give a tribute to Eleazar the priest as the Lord’s part of their earnings. We follow the same principle when we bring tithes and offerings to the church today.
Discussion Questions
- What is your next step of obedience to God's word in regard to money?
- What's holding you back from following through?
Application
God doesn’t need our money, but He wants our obedience. Holding back from God stops us from experiencing His abundant provision for ourselves and others. Our obedience in giving partners with God's goodness to accomplish more with our money than we could imagine.
