Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops.
Proverbs 3:9 (NIV)
At first glance, giving might seem like a simple transaction—offering something we have to someone in need or to the church, while hoping to receive a blessing from God. But biblically, it’s a form of worship. It’s a mirror that reflects our heart toward God and others.
From the beginning, God called His people to give the first and the best—not the leftovers, as a sign of them honouring Him. We do this, not from the place of convenience, as giving is meant to be sacrificial—an act of faith and love that acknowledges God as the ultimate provider.
King David understood this deeply. When he had an opportunity to offer a gift he could give to God at no personal cost, he refused it, saying:
“I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”
2 Samuel 24:24
Giving, in its truest form, is a reflection of God’s own heart. After all, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son…”
John 3:16
He didn’t give out of abundance—He gave everything (the only son He had).
Different types of givers exist.
Auto Giver: Gives spontaneously and from compassion, like the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:33–35).
Conventional Giver: Gives because it’s expected or because others are doing it (Matthew 6:1–2).
Moral Giver: Gives from a sense of duty, but may lack joy or deeper spiritual connection (Micah 6:6–8).
Christ-like Giver: Gives sacrificially, joyfully, and lovingly—like Jesus, and like the widow who gave all she had (Luke 21:1–4).
Which of these are you?
God isn’t just interested in what we give—He cares about how and why we give. Christ-like giving is marked by love, trust, and a deep desire to honour God. This is what God wants from us.
What does your current pattern of giving say about your heart toward God?
