The principle of first fruits teaches us to give God our best rather than our leftovers. This ancient biblical concept extends beyond material offerings to include our time, energy, and talents. When we prioritize God by giving Him our first and best, we demonstrate trust in His provision and position ourselves for blessing. This practice isn't about following rules or earning favor, but about acknowledging God's sovereignty and allowing Him to bless everything else in our lives.

Spiritual dryness is a common experience in faith, but the danger lies in letting temporary distance become permanent lukewarmness.

Through dedicated worship time, honest prayer, and intentional pursuit of relationship with God, we can move from being spectators to active participants in our faith journey.
