TAKE A STEP FORWARD IN RESPONSIBILITY
WE HAVE HABITS in every area of life. Personal hygiene, work, and the payment of bills are all matters of principle and habit in the life of any normal person. In fact, we live be habit, except in our spiritual lives. Yet God also wants us to live by some holy habits.
He desires us to plan with commitment, purpose, and determination that which we will give to Him on a regular basis. Certainly God deserves the same discipline we reserve for the utility and mortgage companies. We should not wait for a certain spirit, impulse, or some special need to move us to give. Instead, we must give with planned regularity. In fact, the Scriptures emphasize that giving is the responsibility of every Christian.
