Devotional: Step Out

February 02 2020
Posted by Pastor Toledo

In the life of faith, exemplified by Abraham, no areas of life are devoid of the hand of God. For Abraham, every area of life was uniquely devoted to and surrendered to God. This included everything from his family and friends to his own resources. Nothing was off limits for him.

Just as Abraham lived a life of faith in his finances, so God calls us to do the same, offering him a tithe of ten percent of our total earnings (Lev. 27:20, 26). It does not matter how much or how little we have; God wants us to honor him with our finances.

Questions for Meditation

  1. Psalm 127:1 says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” What are some ways that God has “built your house?”

  2. Abraham lived out all areas of his life in faith, beginning with salvation and into every other area of his life. Which of the eight areas mentioned are you operating in the most faith? Which areas do you need more faith in?

  3. Why is it better to tithe ten percent than to hold on to all of your money?

  4. Jesus says to his disciples that no one can serve both God and money (Mt. 6:24). Why is this the case? What implications does this have about how we steward our finances?

  5. We learn from Abraham’s life and from Hebrews 7:1-3 that when we tithe and honor the Lord with our finances, we are declaring that God is our King, and that God is our source. When we don’t honor Him in our finances, what are we saying about who our King is, and who we view as our source?

  6. How can you begin (or continue) to honor the Lord with your finances?
