22You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields. 23And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
“The word truly is important; since the tithe described giving ten percent, God commanded that it really be ten percent. One might easily imagine Israelites discovering ways to give God less than truly ten percent.” (Guzik)
The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives.(Deuteronomy 14:23b, Living Bible)

Notice LB says: “to teach you always to put God first in your lives”
To be perfectly honest, I struggle with tithing in retirement and my limited income.
Do you put God first in your life?
Blessings
