First fruits: honoring God
God invites you to place the first and best in His hands, not because He needs it, but because your heart does. Giving trains your soul to remember who owns everything and who provides for you. “Spending shows serving,” so align your budget and your calendar with heaven’s priorities. When you trust Him with first fruits, you discover He knows how to provide for the rest. Let generosity become your glad “yes” to God’s ownership in 2026.
Proverbs 3:9–10: Honor the Lord with the first and finest of what you receive, and you will find that He supplies what you need and more in due season.
Reflection: What specific first-fruits step—financial, time, or talent—will you take this month to put God first before every other bill, plan, or commitment?
