First Fruits- giving the best to the Lord. The word tithe means a tenth. A third tithe was to be received every year for the poor. Their dedication was costly, but it was worthy of all that God had done for them. When we are right with God, we will support His work and His house.
True repentance brings forth true commitment.
Lord, thank you that I can truly commit all of my being to you. You paid the ultimate price by sending Jesus Christ to die for me. Therefore I am obligated to totally surrender my life to you for service. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
