Reading: Hebrews 7:1-10

Devotional: Abraham's encounter with Melchizedek teaches us that giving is fundamentally an act of worship. Fresh from victory, Abraham could have credited himself for his success. Instead, he recognized God's priestly order and responded with honor by giving a tenth.

True worship isn't confined to singing songs—it's recognizing God's greatness and responding accordingly. When we give under grace, we're not trying to earn God's love; we're responding to the love already demonstrated in Christ. Grace doesn't lower the standard of devotion; it raises the condition of our hearts.

Consider this: If Abraham honored God's priest before the law existed, how much more should we honor Christ, our eternal High Priest? Today, let your generosity—whether with finances, time, or talents—be an act of worship. Say with your actions: "Lord, You are greater. You are my source. You are worthy."
