Deuteronomy 26:1-27:26Luke 10:38-11:13
Psalm 76:1-12
Proverbs 12:15-17
Deuteronomy 26 deals with giving God our first fruits. Looking at the text, I am ashamed to say that I really struggle to give the Lord the very best of what I have. This week I was listening to a public speaker who spoke about giving your tunic to those in need if you have two. My first response was "When have I ever given away a jacket off my back?" My second response was, "Ok... now that I remember that one time, when have I ever kept a bad jacket and given away a good one?" Giving God our first fruits means that he gets our best. I tend to be a last-fruit kind of guy. God is calling me to a higher standard. Give God your first fruits! Let him have the best of your crop!
