Tithing

I was writing my tithe check the other day and I was thinking that the normal human conception of giving God your first tenth is that you will have 90% of your income remaining to pay your bills. Well, here's a different viewpoint. If I have all the money I need to pay my debts, isn't that 100%? So really, isn't our Father giving us 110%? I think when we begin to realize that it's all His anyway and He could just as easily take it all away, then it's easier to let go of it. We couldn't even take our next breath if He didn't allow it. Matt. 6:25-27.
