You are correct that we don't know the situation here, BUT even in your example of mortgage, electric, or car insurance all points to the fact that we put our living before God.

How is God first in our life if He is not first?

As for me, if God couldn't be first because my mortgage was too high I would downsize. If my car insurance was too high I would get a cheaper car. It is no different then cutting the cable or the HBO package. It all comes down to priorities.

The reason most Christians don't see God's blessings on their lives is because God is not first. He is an after thought. Offerings are budgetary items and God is not a budgetary item.
