Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops. Proverbs 3:9
“Giving first shows the attitude of our hearts, that we know this money is God’s and He has asked us to give to Him our first fruits, our best. We demonstrate that by giving to His work first. This is not easy and it may take time to develop. But once it is done it becomes an integral part of an ongoing and vibrant relationship with God.”
