Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
The spiritual power of tithing includes the Lord’s promised protection—both temporal and spiritual—as we put Him first. When we honor this covenant, we invite the windows of heaven to open, blessing us in ways we may not always see but can surely feel.
Scripture
“And verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people; for he that is tithed shall not be burned at his coming.”—Doctrine and Covenants 64:23
Quote
“The world speaks of tithing in terms of our money, but the sacred law of tithing is principally a matter of our faith. Being honest in our tithes is one way we show our willingness to put the Lord first in our lives, above our own cares and interest. I promise you that as you trust in the Lord, the blessings of heaven will follow.”—Neil L. Andersen

Living the Principle: Of You It Is Required to Forgive All Men
- Set a recurring reminder to pay tithing as soon as income is received. This helps prioritize tithing as a first act of faith rather than a last-minute obligation.
- Use tithing declaration as a time of reflection. Each year, prayerfully review how the Lord has protected and blessed your life as you’ve kept the law of tithing.
- Teach children or youth in your home how to calculate and pay tithing. Showing them how to set aside tithing from their earnings will instill lifelong habits of faith and obedience.
