When God is good to you and blesses you abundantly, how do you return that love? Back then it was tithing, and in this chapter Jacob offers a tenth of his possessions to the Lord.
Nowadays, tithing can be one component of worship but it's not the only one. It's important not to neglect prayer, devotions, fellowship, and discipleship because all that helps us foster the characteristics of a good Christ follower and child of God.
Upon my own reflection, I think prayer and discipleship and areas that I can improve on. I tend to pray before meals or intentionally with others, but very rarely do I pray and have a conversation with the Lord and me alone. Discipleship is done with the intention of becoming more like Christ by maturing in the knowledge of the Word and also through one's actions in everyday life. I would say that I'm a passive Christian, not really being intentional in my actions so it's something I need to improve upon.
