We often put ourselves first—spending, paying debt, taxes, and saving—leaving God with whatever is left. In the Old Testament, God commanded His people to tithe as a reminder to trust Him with their first and best, and Jesus raised the bar in the New Testament by teaching that where our treasure goes, our hearts will follow. The widow who gave all she had showed that true generosity comes from faith and surrender, not surplus. We are challenged to “flip the list” by making God our priority with our finances, starting somewhere, and giving out of trust, because God gave first by sending His Son for us.
