Sometimes it is so hard not to be discouraged. I mean how could I not be, on this Tax day 2009 after finding out we owe in $1500.00. I was so excited that after our move & the first few paychecks at Paul's new job that we were starting to get back on track. Money was starting to go into the savings, rather then out. We were about to get back onto our budgetting system. Monday I started working a part time job at a place I used to work a few years ago, things were looking up. I was pulling the info one how much we owe on our car, which is low & we were looking to get another one. I feel like we've been obedient to God with tithing (not to brag, it is hard) and it really threw me today to hear about having to pay in on taxes. I am ashamed to admit but I question how wise it is to tithe in times like these, but God has promised to provide, He has in the past, even while tithing & I just need to keep trusting & obeying him. But it is still hard at times. Times like these. I just thank God it wasn't more that we owed. I know He will be with us & help us get it all paid off but I just pray that things start to look up as the discouragement is setting in once more.
Oh and to top it all off our tax guy had kind of gone MIA on us from February (when he got our info) till just today when he told us we owed. NICE.
Well I think I will end this post before I complain anymore.
Ciao,
Caroline

Tithing, the ordinance of the Law which supported the Levites and priests of the Old Covenant, ended at the Cross when the Old Covenant ended. See Hebrews 8:8-13 and compare Heb 7:18 with the context of 7:5 and 7:12.
The priesthood of every believer replaced both the temple and the priesthood. Tithing is never commanded to the Church after Calvary. See Galatians 3:10 also.
Give sacrificially and to the best of your ability. God will bless.

God WILL continue to provide for us, love. However, I believe there will always be times where we'll be tested or "tempted" not to tithe.
