—Leviticus 27:30-33

In our modern concept of tithing, we give a tenth from our paycheck each week. In ages past, tithing was the first tenth of all things that were considered gain. A tithe is technically ten percent of your increase. But, in reality, it is so much more. Giving of our increase is giving a thank you to the One who provided for you. It is taking right off the top of your best and setting it apart for God’s glory. Consider the last statement from verse 30, “It is holy to the Lord.” To be “holy” means to be set apart. Are you setting apart a portion of your blessings for the Lord?
