I know regardless if you believe in tithing or not, this can be a struggle for most of us. If you were asked to give up all your wealth (i.e. money, savings and etc) and walk away from it all in a moment (even by God) would you really do it? Or would you out of fear, selfish wants make excuses and keep your wealth?
Saying yes is easier than actually really doing it. Myself I do tithe but I often have caught myself knowing I can do more or aware that I am clinging to "worldly things". We are humans and cannot be perfect but being aware makes the differences with how we respond or react.
