A lot of times it seems that it would be easy to skimp on this one you know. Usually when we think of the vow of giving our gifts we are thinking of our money. This isn't entirely wrong either. What really comes to mind is though is what we are willing to give to the church. Usually this is something that is monetary sure, but there are other things that we can vow as our gifts. Regardless of what it is, it is something that God has asked us to give, and we should give this to do our best to support the Body of Christ.
The first thing that we touch on here is the fact that in Malachi 3:10. Here is where God tells His people to bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. With this command he offers us a promise as well. He tells us to give this to him and he will bless us. This is the only place that I can think of where God tells us to test Him. He says that when we do this he will pour down on us overflowing blessings. Now, don't misunderstand me here. I'm not by any means looking at this as a gospel of prosperity. I don't believe that just because we have faith in Jesus that we will be blessed with vacation homes and overflowing bank accounts. To me that seems like a rather cheap faith really...where is the sacrifice on our part? Jesus says that to follow Him is not about the easy life and that we should count the cost first.
Anyway, I think I got a little distracted there, sorry. What God is telling us here I believe has more to do with calling us to be obedient to Him than it does with the fact that we are giving. God wants us to be faithful to Him and obedient to his commands. He says he will bless us overflowingly when we are. It's not as much about the gift that we give as it is the obedience in giving it. Whether it is your money (which if you have that you should be giving it in support of the Church and Body) or your time and talents, God is asking us to first be obedient and faithful to Him in giving of these things. Peace and Love y'all.
