Ever since Josh and I were first married we have tithed 10% of the money that God has given us. However, the point was brought up at this study that if we are to tithe back to God 10% of everything that he has given us, then shouldn't we be tithing our time? There are 1440 minutes in every day, so 10% of that would be 144 minutes. Can we honestly say that we give 144 minutes to God every day? I know I can't. When the issue of tithing comes up it's never the money that I have an issue with, it's time. It's not MY time. It's GOD'S time that he has provided for me to use to bring glory to Himself and further His kingdom. Is that how I use my time? Just my self-convicting thought for the day.....
