Harvest Lessons & Realignment

Week 38 — “Give God Your First, Not Your Leftovers”

Scripture: “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits…” — Proverbs 3:9 (NIV)

Reflection: It’s easy to give God whatever scraps of time or energy remain after everything else drains us. But giving Him the first part of our day — our attention, our heart, our focus — shapes the rest of the day in ways nothing else can. God doesn't need our leftovers; He desires our devotion. When we prioritize Him first, clarity and peace follow.

The Homestead Take Away: First fruits reflect the health of the entire field. Honoring God first sets the tone for everything else.

Prayer: Lord, help me give You my first and best, not whatever is left at the end. Amen.
