Again, just like I said in the last post, life has been a little tough lately. Without going into too much detail, I'll just say that God has been testing my faith in the area of finances. I am the one who takes care of all the bills so I am the one who always knows everything about the amount of money, or lack thereof. This month we were in the situation where if we didn't tithe, we could pay for everything and have some left over. If we did tithe, we would be down to our last dollar (literally) with 2 weeks left in the month. I'll just go ahead and say it: I did not want to tithe. I wanted to have some money left over to, I don't know...go to eat, rent a movie, etc. Anyway, I wrote the check to the church, but only after taking a step back and praying about it and making sure my heart was happy about it and I wasn't just doing it because we're supposed to. There is now a little less than 2 weeks until the next paycheck and I found this verse the other day. I love it because it is about hope and rejoicing and trusting and being joyful while we wait for his help.
