GEMS-Teachings: The Best Way to Get Out of Financial Difficulty

Gems from the Teachings of Church Leaders
The Best Way to Get Out of Financial Difficulty
—————————————————

“I want to repeat to the Latter-day Saints my firm belief that God our heavenly Father prospers and blesses and gives wisdom to those men and to those women who are strictly honest with him in the payment of their tithing. I believe that when a man is in financial difficulty, the best way to get out of that difficulty (and I speak from personal experience, because I believe that more than once in my life I have been in the financial mud as deep as almost anybody) is to be absolutely honest with the Lord, and never to allow a dollar to come into our hands without the Lord receiving ten per cent of it.”

Topics: Tithing, finances

( Heber J. Grant, in Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant [2002], 123)
