The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Hello, im a christian student with some IRL questions relating to christian world-view.

I tithe and so far tithing has made me richer. i find currency bills all the time in my box. I tithe to my church(inside the church are boxes for different kind of charities) and when I can i give to beggars.

Im a student and I need to start earning at least 8K units of currency a month which is the minium wage in my republic. But,getting a job is hard;a new option arises,namely,

volunteer work in an area I have skills for. Is it unreal to expect that volunteer work shall enrich me as did tithing? When the Bible letters speack of

"don't work don't eat;does it account for difficulty to find employment? If it's ok for an employer to give you money,is it wrong to expect God to

sustain you if you work(even if on the outside its"free work"?

im not a prosperity gospel person but i can't stop believing that he who gives is given back.

also its absurd for "universal laws" to be trampled on by socio-economy,such as not getting a job due to bad economy.

I won't use the money I get evilly and i try to be frugal.

but its required for me to acquire an income.

Well everybody needs some sort of income. I understand your questions but I'm not really sure why you're asking as any answer would net the same outcome i.e. you still need to find a job.

>tithing has made me richer

Be very careful with this line of thinking - of course we are called to be cheerful givers, but don't give with the *expectation* that you will gain materially from your giving. It's great that God is providing for you - you said you keep finding money, presumably when you don't expect it - but it's not wise to expect some karmic material reward for your good deeds, because if you don't get the reward you're anticipating, you might become bitter. God has provided for you, you don't need to speculate on why that is, whether it's because you are generous or whatever other reason. Just thank God and carry on. Bear in mind that you don't need to be enriched, as long as you are breathing, God is sustaining you.

While you won't be paid for volunteer work it can definitely be rewarding - in material terms, it might lead you into an actual paid job, especially if it's a skilled position as you said. It can be a learning experience, and a networking opportunity. If you have the time, maybe you should go for it, even if it's just for a little while. You might enjoy it
