Biblical Answer

The concept of tithing, or giving a tenth of one's income to God, is rooted in the Bible. In the book of Leviticus, the Israelites were instructed to give a tithe of their crops and livestock to the Lord, with some provisions made for the poor. This practice was not just about giving money, but also about acknowledging God's sovereignty and provision in their lives.

When it comes to tithing, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that we can't afford it. But the truth is, we can't afford not to tithe. As the saying goes, "You can't out-give God." When we give generously to God, He provides for us in ways we never thought possible. This is not just a matter of finances, but also of faith. When we trust God with our finances, He shows us that He is faithful and provides for our needs.

So, what if you can't afford to tithe right now? The key is to start small and be consistent. Even giving a small amount each week can make a big difference in your life and in the lives of others. As you begin to tithe, you'll find that God provides for you in ways you never thought possible. It's not about how much you give, but about the heart behind your giving. When we give to God, we're not just giving money, we're giving Him control over our lives. And that's where the real blessing comes in. So, don't wait until you can afford to tithe. Start today, and watch God work in your life in amazing ways. I encourage you to take a step of faith and start giving to God, no matter how small it may seem. You'll be amazed at how God provides for you and blesses your life.
