Yes, you would think that Tithing would reduce what you have, but no, it increases. I think the Lord uses faithful and heartfelt tithing to increase your wisdom. With increased wisdom you see things that others don't. Your attitude shifts off of self and onto what you can do for your family, friends and others.

It disciplines the mind and keeps one from being too tempted by debt and advertisements. It makes one budget and plan through savings. Although budgeting, planning and savings are not things exclusive to folks of faith; tithing accelerates all of these things in ones life. You become more thankful and grateful and perceive how to be more graceful toward others.

One thing in this 20th Anniversary Vacation was that I prayed my wife would have a great time and that I would be able to see her needs. This seems to have been answered in abundance. For when I focused on giving to her, the Lord seemed to give back to me. God, amazingly, is a God who cannot be outgiven.

Being Wealthy and Giving, is so much more than money. It is about shifted attitudes and servanthood. For there, we find true wealth.
