A WALK THOUGH MALACHI -10

MALACHI 3:10
Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in My house, and prove Me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts. If I will not open to you the widows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be enough room to receive it!

The past two devotionals dealt with those who try to rob God -but today we get to deal with those who give to God! When we give what we have to the GOD who owns it all - He will pour out a blessing on us that we cannot contain - now many take this and run with it and make it seem that it must be a finical blessing - but its not always the case - many times its a blessing that cannot be measured in human terms -its a blessing at times we may not see as a blessing -many times we feel we know what is best and we want that - what God gives us is always better- we must trust the Lord when we give to HIM but this should not be our motivation to get something in return -we must give out of worship and if God so choices HE can bless us - but the blessing to come should not be what makes us give -its not about us - the health and blessing gospel to some preach is not the truth - God can bless us but HE does not have to bless us! Its up to HIM - our obedience should not depend on HIS blessings! Its not about what we get -its about what we give and why - many give to get -but we must be different -we must be willing to give and get nothing in return - I heard a song that said - you cannot buy your way to heaven and this is true -we don't gain salvation by the amount of money we give- God wants our hearts not our money -but He asks us to give out of a heart of worship!
God said He would open the windows of heaven pour out such a blessing that we simply cannot contain it - that's awesome!Lets give to GOD out of worship! He said to test HIM on this - do you believe HIM enough to give?


a side note: The world says get what you can- God says give what you can!

With CHRIST blessings flow into our lives!
