18:25, 26 Even the Levites, who were ministers, had to tithe to support the Lord’s work. No one was exempt from returning to God a portion of what was received. Though the Levites owned no land and operated no great enterprises, they were to treat their income the same as everyone else did by giving a portion to care for the needs of the other Levites and of the Tabernacle. The tithing principle is still relevant. God expects all his followers to supply the material needs of those who devote themselves to meeting the spiritual needs of the community of faith. Ask God to direct you about what you should give and to help you give generously.
18:32 Gifts dedicated to God were to be treated with respect. Churches today also have the responsibility to manage carefully the money and time people have dedicated to God. If you are involved in raising or handling your church’s money, insist that people show respect for gifts made to God by careful management and responsible stewardship of his resources.
