Giving Glorifies God


The third important promise we learned this past Sunday from chapter 9 about Make Your Giving Count, is that Giving Glorifies God. Our tithing and giving to the work of God is an important form of worship, and a very important step in practically living out, and strengthening our faith in the Lord, and bringing God glory through our lives. And yet statistics demonstrate that most Christians in America do not include God's work in their budgets. They include everything else - their houses, cars, clothing, food and entertainment allowance - but not God Himself. 

Studies show that the average Christian gives only about two percent of his or her income to the Lord. I once heard someone say, “Too many Christians are asking the wrong question when it comes to tithing. They ask, ‘How much of my money should I give to God?’ Instead, they should be asking, ‘How much of God’s money should I keep for myself?’” If the Lord should return by the end of this sentence, would your current methods of financial stewardship bring God glory? If not, what steps are you willing to take in order to begin bringing God glory through your giving, and increasing fruit to your heavenly account (cf. Philippians 4:17)?
