• Thanks to God is something we should do every day. We should express our thanks to Him first not after we have done all we needed to do. There is a blessing in our leftovers, but we should not give our leftovers to God. Give what we have First to God and watch what He does with our leftovers!
• God deserves the first fruits from our increase. Not what is leftover after paying your bills, after buying your gifts. (Leviticus 23:9-14)
• God deserves your time first, not what’s left at the end of the day. Give Him the best part of you. (Deuteronomy 17:1)

We wonder how we got caught up in greed, why we overextended our credit? Perhaps we are giving God leftovers.  (Proverbs 3:11-12)

• God gives in abundance… He took two fish and five loaves of bread and feed 5,000 WITH leftovers. (John 6: 9-13)
• God gives abundant life…eternal life that begins immediately (John 10: 10)

Give God a little or your leftovers, and you will receive a little. Give to God cheerfully and generously; God can bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8)

So when you give to others generously, graciously and compassionately, then these qualities will come back to you with a bonus! (Luke 6:38)

Give God praise! Serve God before taking care of yourself or others. Tell others about God even when you do not feel like it. Serve others before serving yourself. In doing so, God will know that He is more important to us than our possessions.

Lord, you mean more to us than anything else. We serve You first, our best, not our leftovers today. So if our hands are found empty today, let our hearts send praise to our lips; offering our praise to the Almighty God. You can do anything you want, when you want to! In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
