Obedience in Tithing - Mark

Everything has settled down this week, and I needed to tithe on the work that we had been doing lately. The tithe check was for $250 which was difficult to write considering our circumstances, but we both knew that it was the right thing to do. As I dropped the check in the bucket, I prayed that God would provide resources and continue to take care of us.

I was reminded of Matthew 6:25-27
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

God promised food on the table, but He did not promise to pay off my mistakes.

After the service, an usher handed me an anonymous note which read:
"Thank only God. He told me to get this for you about a month ago. Sorry it took so long. I wish I could give more - though I'm sure God will keep the blessings coming! Love You!"

Enclosed was a $50 bill. God is so good, and he delivered some provision within minutes of depositing the tithe check. I want to thank the anonymous donor for their obedience, and this way God gets all the glory. I know the rewards that come with obedience, and I look forward to the day when God can use us to bless others again financially.
