Exodus 22.29
29 “You shall not delay to offerthe first of your ripe produce and your juices.”
Exodus 23.19
“The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORDyour God.”
What can I offer to the Lord today? Have I prepared my time as an offering to Him? Have I laid my heart, mind, and conscience on the altar of His pleasure? What can cause me to delay in offering myself wholly to the Lord today (Rom. 12.1, 2)?
Evening Meditation
Deuteronomy 14.22, 23
22“You shall surely tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year. 23And you shall eat before the LORDyour God, in the place where He chooses to make his name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORDyour God always.”
Deuteronomy 26.12-15
12“When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year – the year of tithing – and have given itto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, 13then you shall say before the Lord your God: ‘I have removed the holy tithefrom myhouse, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed Your commandments, nor have I forgotten them. 14I have not eaten any of it when in mourning, nor have I removed anyof it for an unclean use, nor given anyof it for the dead. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and have done according to all that You have commanded me. 15Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel and the land which You have given us, just as You swore to our fathers, “a land flowing with milk and honey.”’”
God has entrusted much to me. Did I used His resources to serve others today? Have I remembered the needs of those around me? What will I give to others tomorrow?
