The LORD watches your giving.
Read the following verses. Think
and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.
Mark 12:41-44
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and
watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many
rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two
very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his
disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has
put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of
their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything-- all she
had to live on.”
Luke 21:1
Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.
2
Corinthians 8:12
For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to
what one has, not according to what he does not have.
Exodus 35:22,27,29
All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry
of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all
presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD…The leaders brought
onyx stones and other gems… All the Israelite men and women who were
willing brought to the LORD freewill offerings for all the work the LORD
through Moses had commanded them to do.
2
Chronicles 24:10-11
All the officials and all the people brought their contributions gladly,
dropping them into the chest until it was full.
Your bank and credit card statements are theological documents. They
tell who and what you worship.
With the price of everything else going up these days, aren’t you glad
the Lord hasn’t increased the tithe to 15%?

A
Middle-Class Family Becomes Millionaire Givers
Steve
owned a small business and had an annual salary of $50,000. He went to a
conference where Dr. Bill Bright challenged people to give a million
dollars to the LORD’s work. Steve told Dr. Bright it would be impossible
for his family to give a million dollars. Dr. Bright asked, “How much
money did you make last year, and how much did you give?” Steve said,
“My salary is $50,000 and we gave $15,000.” Dr. Bright said, “Next year,
trust God to help you give $50,000.” But Steve said, “That’s my entire
salary!” Dr. Bright said, “Trust God and see how He provides.” With
God’s help, Steve’s business did well and his family joyfully gave
$50,000. The following year, God helped them give $100,000. Each year,
his family lived on his $50,000 salary and gave all their extra income
to the LORD’s work. Within several years, they gave over a million
dollars!
