Attack Your Lack
The Bible teaches this in the very first book.
Genesis. Abraham gave to God. The Bible says he gave
"tithes of all" (Genesis 14:20). God gave back to him and
his wife Sarah a son, Isaac, when it seemed impossible.
Then God told Abraham to teach Isaac how to give in
good times and bad times. Isaac learned the lesson so
well he literally "sowed in famine."
This is a story you should know and study. It's in
Genesis 26:1-14. It has profoundly affected my sowing
and reaping...giving and receiving.
In Genesis 26:1 we're told, "And there was famine
in the land."
Abraham, Isaac's father, had seen famine. But he
had continued to give of what he had to God no matter
how little it was. By his faith Abraham had taken on
God's nature and the essential elements of His
character. By his faith he refused to vary his giving
according to his circumstances. He gave God tithes of
all he had. He gave first out of gratitude for what God
had given him; second, he gave as a seed to generate
more and on a continuing basis from God his Source.
This is most important for you to know and to
practice, for it will pay dividends to you whether times
are good or times are bad. It will pay because God says,
"I am the Lord, I change not" (Malachi 3:6).
When you trust God as your Source as Abraham
did, then good times or bad times do not affect you as
