Give god first

SUMMARY: The story of the widow of Sarepta teaches us the importance of giving to God first. When Elijah asked the widow to make him a cake from the little food she had left, she obeyed and was blessed with an abundance of flour and oil until the end of the famine. God wants us to enter into the zone of discomfort and give generously, not just money but also time, forgiveness, and grace. By giving first to God, we open ourselves up to His blessings and ensure prosperity for ourselves and our families.

Don't wait until you've paid all the bills and bought your children's clothes and everything is fine, then start giving to the Lord. That is not the first fruits, that is the "last fruits". Many Christians are experts in the "last fruits" but not in the first fruits.

We begin this series of meditations on generosity with the story of the widow of Sarepta, whom God used to feed the prophet Elijah during a great famine throughout the region. We know the story: When Elías arrives at the widow's house, she prepares to eat the last morsel she has left with her son, and then abandons herself to die.
