Faith is taking the first step and trusting God with the second. It’s giving Him your best and trusting Him for the rest. One of the best examples of this is found in the story of Cain and Abel. Genesis chapter 4 tells us that Cain brought some of his fruit as an offering to God, while Abel brought the firstborn of his flock.
Like Cain, we can all give God some of our money, some of our time, and some of our resources but are we willing to give Him our best? Do we trust Him enough to provide if we do?
By bringing the firstborn of his flock, Abel was trusting God for the second, and third, etc. It’s like giving your first paycheck to God and trusting in His continued provision.
By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. (Hebrews 11:4, NIV)
Ask yourself today what you’re bringing to God. Are you giving Him your best? Are you trusting Him for the rest?

Darlene Schacht and her husband Michael live in Manitoba Canada where the summers are beautiful and the winters are cold. Together they’ve come to learn that relationships aren’t always easy, but that marriage, the way God intended it to be, is a treasure worth fighting for.
She began her publishing journey about twelve years ago when she pioneered one of the first online magazines for Christian women, known at the time as “Christian Women Online Magazine.” After three years, Darlene left CWO to blog as a solo author at Time-Warp Wife Ministries.
It was also during this transition that she worked alongside actress Candace Cameron Bure to write the NYT Best-Selling book, Reshaping it All: Motivation for Spiritual and Physical Fitness. Reshaping it All was the winner of both the 2011 USA Best Book Awards and the 2012 Christian Reading Retailers Choice Awards.
Author of more than 15 books, Darlene continues to write and to minister to her readers through her blog at TimeWarpWife.com.
