To every time, tithe, tithe, tithe!

More thoughts on the idea of tithe.

The Bible mandates setting aside the first 10% of your crops for G-D. This has been interpreted to mean, in modern terms, putting aside the first 10% of your earnings for G-D. Why are we so narrow minded?

I propose that time is more valuable than money. In modern times, most middle class American families actually have a greater quantity of money than time. Thus, giving over 10% of your earnings does not actually affect your liveliehood as much as giving over 10% of your time.

I am advocating a time tithe. Set aside the first 10% of your time for G-D. We learn that, by setting aside the first 10% of our earnings, G-D blesses our finances. How much more important is his blessing on our time?

I know it sounds impossible. I think that may be proof that it is what is being asked. G-D specializes in asking us to do what seems impossible, but turns out to be possible only through his guidance and blessing. Try it, set aside the first 10% of your time for G-D and report to me on what happens.

Praise Him Daily and He will Bless you abudantly. Good night and G-D bless.

Are you taking on your own challenge? Do you realize that would be 2.4 hours each day? And not just any hours, but the first. I think it's a great idea. Let us know how your attempt goes.
