"Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!" Heb. 7:4
After Abraham had returned from defeating four kings and rescuing his nephew Lot, he was met and blessed by Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High. (See Genesis 14:17-20. Melchizedek means "king of righteousness;" king of Salem means "king of peace.") Abraham then returned the blessing by giving Melchizedek a tenth of everything that was taken from battle. The author of Hebrews declares that Jesus, our "king of righteousness" and "king of peace," is also our eternal priest "in the order of Melchizedek." Does He merit at least a tenth of all we possess? Jesus gave His all for us; dare we give anything less for Him?
Lord, help us to give You our all!
