D&C 119
While sitting in priesthood meeting last Sunday listening to the lesson on tithing i was thinking about the fact that I have always paid my tithing, but I have never had any grand experience of being directly blessed for it. I have always had my needs met – I’m sure that paying a full tithe has played a subtle but important role in that, but never a spectacular role. After receiving a job offer with a 50% pay raise included in it yesterday I have to attribute that to a generous blessing as a result of paying tithing before I could even think of it as being a hard choice. I have not paid tithing in a couple of months because I have not been paid for any work in that time. Living through that drought and then having such a massive pay raise handed to me for a job that I will love – it’s a pretty impressive blessing.
