Leviticus 27:30
“A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.

Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Wed, Feb. 3, BELONGS (Lev. 27:30). Everything does belong to God. Althougj, God doesn’t have to say it, we should realize that everything is belong to him. If God doesn’t allow us to breath, if God stops us from breathing, than, we will die at once. Everything that we say belong to us, vanish, gone, left behind. But, in this verse, God states that the tithe is belong to him. It means:
a. Double emphasis.
It is very serious, that it needs to be stated twice.

b. Double emphaty.
Behind the law and obligation, God reminds us that he loves us so much. We can do this, because he has blessed us.

c. Double exhortion.
God warns us to be head over money. To be the master over wealth. To be the lord over things. God doesn’t want us to be greedy. To be controlled by money. To be a thief. Because, he knows the danger of the love of money. So, let’s return what is belong to God to God. ASH.
