Where Your Treasure Is...

So part of our spiritual revival is realizing the importance of obedience, and tithing.  Our finances tend to be shaky at best, and this one was especially hard for me to adjust to.  I have to say, though, I write the check out first, and I barely miss the money!  Somehow, our budget is balancing itself better than it ever was, and we're getting discounts on some big bills that we never thought would happen.  For example, our car insurance company called last week (we weren't currently with them at the time) and quoted us a rate $40 less than what we were paying for the same exact coverage!  What a surprise and a blessing! That might not seem like a lot to some, but around here, every last penny counts!  I'm not saying that because we're tithing amazing things are going to happen, but when you are obedient and you show faith that he will provide, it opens the door for amazing things to happen!  Who would have thought that giving up 10% of our paycheck (yes, off the top!) would have been one of the smartest financial decisions we could have made, and the one thing that will make us continually put our faith in God's provision! We are just learning so much these past few months!  Have a blessed day, and don't forget to give!

"Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Matthew 6:20-21, NASB
