The Alexanders’ Story

Giving in our family has been a priority from ​early in our marriage. Steph and I are blessed ​to both come from very similar backgrounds ​so that made it easier to make giving a ​priority. We have gone through different ​seasons but try very hard to give God our first ​fruits when it comes to finances.

Whenever things are getting tight and I start ​to pray about money, usually very quickly God ​reminds me of Malachi 3:10 when He says ​“Test me in this and see if I will not throw ​open the floodgates of heaven and pour out ​so much blessing that there will not be room ​enough to store it.”.

For me it's a matter of surrendering over my ​finances to God and trusting Him to be the ​provider for my family. That being said, God's ​blessings for our family are not limited to just ​money and I think it's important that our ​motives for giving are not just for financial ​gain. When I sit and dwell on all that God has ​given me and my family it’s overwhelming.

If this is an area of your life that is causing you ​stress, I would encourage you to remember ​that the Almighty Creator of the universe is ​throwing out a challenge to you to test Him in ​this.
