Numbers 18

When Israel faithfully tithes, Aaron and sons live well. When they don’t, Aaron and his sons live poorly. When I faithfully tithe out of love and obedience to God I live well in every way. Life may not be easy, but it is good in a way only God can accomplish. My path smooths out and straightens even in dangerous places. His comfort is more profound. The rewards of obedience are subtle, but lead to a certain sureness that gives me buoyancy in life.

Lord Jesus, thank you for showing me the way, for paving it with the cross, for walking hand in hand with me. I cannot love you enough!
