God, in His infinite love, has given us the means to worship Him and rejoice, both individually and with His people, through tithing and offerings as a show of gratitude. Tithing, though commanded, is a way of giving back to God a portion of what He first gave us. Our attitude toward tithing reveals our spirit of thankfulness, willingness, and obedience, or a reluctant, begrudging compliance. God expects us to tithe not out of mere necessity or obligation, but with a joyful and eager heart, reflecting faith and obedience to all that our heavenly Father commands. Approaching tithing with a mindset of doing the minimum to satisfy requirements often results in failing to give the full ten percent, if at all, due to a poor attitude. Tithing is a matter of conversion and faith, demonstrating that we worship God and trust in His ability to bless us. It is a test and an act of faith, a spiritual act akin to prayer, without which it is impossible to please God. Tithing shows our worship, respect, love, and admiration for our Creator, expressing honor and acknowledging His supremacy and mastery of the universe.

Our attitude toward tithing must reflect a deep recognition of God's ownership of all things. He created the earth, provided life, and sustains us with everything good that we possess. When we tithe, we should approach God with gratitude and faithfulness, understanding that we are returning a portion of what is already His for a wonderful purpose. Abraham's example shows us the right heart in giving. He gave the choicest spoils of war to God, acknowledging that his victory came from Him. As the father of the faithful, Abraham's attitude was one of wholehearted devotion, giving the very best he had. We, too, must imitate this faithfulness as we pay our tithes and offerings, ensuring they are perfect and unblemished, not merely a routine act but a reflection of God's greatness. Often, we view tithing from the wrong perspective, feeling it interferes with our desires or burdens us with debt. This mindset misses the truth that everything we have is from God. In contrast, Israel developed a careless attitude, treating God's commands with familiarity and offering blemished sacrifices. God rejected such offerings, emphasizing that He desires worship in spirit and truth, with a right heart deeply appreciative of His love and care. Our attitude should not be one of merely going through the motions or viewing tithing as just another bill to pay. Instead, we must give with a sincere heart, recognizing God's provision and protection in our lives. When we tithe with the right attitude, God promises to open the windows of heaven and pour out abundant blessings upon us, ensuring we receive more than we can contain.
