"Prompt:
Proverbs 3:9-10
9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Some people believe these two verses have to do with tithing. What are your thoughts? What do you think about tithing?"

I am a soldier in the Salvation Army. I am under covenant to tithe my income and I do so faithfully. In fact, I am glad you mentioned that because I had not sent my tithe to the corps this month. The job I have pays once per month plus room and board. I just got paid so... Yes. I very much believe in tithing. The way I look at it, the money is all God's. He only asks for a small offering from it. The least I can do is make that offering. I do so out of respect. I love God with all my heart. While I may not be the most faithful follower and often fall short of the mark, I do love God and try to do the right thing. Tithing is the right thing to do. Whether God blesses my tithe or not is unimportant. I know that He does bless it though. I have had many people tell me that I live a charmed life because everything I need is met. I have answers to all my prayers and things usually go well for me. I think this is because I am, for the most part, obedient to God.
