Money Matters

Read: Leviticus 27:29-33

^"But Melchizedek, who was not a descendant of Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham. And Melchizedek placed a blessing upon Abraham, the one who had already received the promises of God." - Hebrews 7:6 (NLT)

Dalia's husband is an alcoholic and he lost his job. He went to several rehabs, but could not shake his addiction. Finally, he left his family and moved back up north to live with his mother. Dalia had so much dumped on her at once - a mortgage, two daughters to support, and a mountain of debt that needed paying - that she fell on her knees. Then guess what she did? She started tithing, which her husband would never allow her to do.

Within weeks, God opened a door for her to keep her home, which she thought was lost, and to pay all of her bills except for a tiny bit needed for daily living. In response to her continued prayer and trust in the Lord, God moved on her ex-husband's heart to start sending her part of his retirement fund, which he currently collected each month from his former job.

Prayer:

Lord, help us always to remember that You are faithful, especially when we live in obedience to Your Word.

Thought for the Day:

In the Lord's hands, a widow's mite goes a long way.
