“’For I, the Lord, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. From the days of your fathers, you have turned aside from My statutes; and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,’ Says the Lord of hosts. ‘But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
“’Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed Thee?’ ‘In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you!
“’Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house; and test Me now in this,’ Says the Lord of hosts, ‘If I will not open for you the windows of heaven; and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.
“’Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it may not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes.’ Says the Lord of hosts. And all the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land,’ says the Lord of Hosts.’” Malachi 3:6-12
When we mistakenly go about our lives with little recognition for the Lord, we can let things slip, easy to forget that He is the author and perfector of all. He does not need our money, by the way, He just wants our hearts and our focus on His plan for His world.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene
