Make an IMPACT
The Bible teaches us that tithing is an act of obedience and that we should trust God with every aspect of our lives, which also includes our finances. Sacrificing a portion of our income helps us look beyond ourselves and makes us more aware of the needs of others. We offer many ways for you to make an IMPACT and give back. Take a look at some of the options below

1. God exposes what we trust.
Identity
Livelihood
Influence
Security
God wasn't asking Moses because He needed the staff.
He was asking because Moses needed to discover what he trusted most.
He was asking because Moses needed to discover what he trusted most.
Because whatever has your trust, eventually has you.
2. God asks us to surrender what we trust.
Because surrender always comes before usefulness.
God can't fully use what we refuse to surrender.
3. God returns surrendered things with greater purpose.
Trust
"What is that in your hand?"
It's Not Yours.
What you place in God's hands becomes far more powerful than what you keep in your own hands.
Action Steps:
This week don't just think about Moses' staff. Ask yourself what God may be pointing to in your own life. Here are three practical ways to respond…
1. Identify what you're holding onto.
Spend a few quiet minutes asking God, "What is in my hand?"
• What part of your life has become your identity, security, or source of control?
Write it down and be honest about what you've been trusting most.
Reflection: What have I been relying on more than God?
2. Surrender one area to God.
Choose one specific area you've been gripping tightly… your career, finances, relationships, future, reputation, or control.
Then intentionally place it in God's hands through prayer and obedience this week.
Challenge: What's one step of obedience I can take to show God, I'm trusting Him with this?
3. Trust God's presence more than your ability.
Like Moses, stop waiting until you feel "ready." Move toward the next thing God is asking you to do, remembering His promise: "I will be with you."
Question: Where is God asking me to trust His presence instead of my own strength?
