Tipping God

Verse of the Day:

1 Corinthians 15:57

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ

A lot of us go to restaurants. After we eat, we pay the waiter or waitress for their service. It is an automatic thing for us to do. It’s usually about 15% or more of the total amount that the food bill comes out to and we leave it on the table for the waitress to find after we leave the restaurant. We do it as a way of saying "thanks" to the people who do service for us. 

How often do we ‘tip’ God for His service? Obviously we can’t pay God with money, but we can ‘tip’ Him daily with our time and with our talent. Stop and think of how much of your day is devoted to God. God does a lot for us! He deserves all the tips in the world. But what can you do TODAY to give God a little bigger of a ‘tip’? Maybe it’s an extra 5 minutes of prayer before bed. Maybe it is signing up to teach religious education classes at church.  What can you do to show God that He’s doing good service for us? Better yet, how can you make it an automatic thing, just like leaving tips for waitresses?

The Simple Truth: We automatically leave tips for the people who give us service. We need to do the same for God!

Pray:

Lord, help me to give you a good ‘tip’ every day with my time and talent. Help me to let you know I appreciate all You do for me. Amen.

Let your light shine.
