It is said that the Christian who begins to tithe will have at least seven surprises:

At the amount of money he has for the Lord's work;

At the deepening of his own spiritual life;

At the ease with which one meets his own obligations;

At the pleasure found in larger giving;

At the satisfaction in the practice of stewardship in time, talents, and possessions;

At himself for not adopting the plan sooner;

At his new appreciation of the goodness of God.
