day no. 16,208: everyone gives their first and best to something

Proverbs 3:9

Honour the LORD with thy substance,

and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.

Everyone tithes to what they worship 

Everyone gives their first and their best to what they most prioritize. They find a way to give to it. They go without other things in order to give to it. They endure other difficulties in order to avoid the difficulty of going without it. Everyone tithes because everyone worships and giving your first and best is the most natural expression of sacrifice. 

Everyone gives financially to what they value spiritually. They give the most to what they value the most. They give their time, energy, worship, money, and mind. We are all worshipers and where our treasure is our heart is also. Our dollars follow our adoration and our adoration follows our dollars. We give to what we love and we love to give to it. 

We stand in lines for hours to be the first to pay homage to it. We pay top dollar to be as close to it or have the best view of it as possible. We find a way. We make room in our budget for what occupies the board room of our hearts. We promote certain passions to the corner office and then bend over backwards to provide them with the choicest portions of our life and livelihood. We sacrifice with a smile on our face. We go to great lengths. We cheerfully set aside our best in order to offer it. 

Everyone gives to and glorifies something.
