All Tithes Are Holy

Acknowledging God

Give from a Generous Heart

Leviticus 27:30-33 The Message

30-33 “A tenth of the land’s produce, whether grain from the ground or fruit from the trees, is God’s. It is holy to God. If a man buys back any of the tenth he has given, he must add twenty percent to it. A tenth of the entire herd and flock, every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod, is holy to God. He is not permitted to pick out the good from the bad or make a substitution. If he dishonestly makes a substitution, both animals, the original and the substitute, become the possession of the Sanctuary and cannot be redeemed.”

For Reflection

The Tithe, one-tenth of the harvest, rent paid to the landowner, God.
To what extent do we, today, act as though God owns it all? If we did, how would our attitudes toward ourselves, each other and the Earth be different?

Pray

Pray so that you can become one of God's stewards, protecting and caring for all of God's creation; human, beast, and soil.
