Malachi 3:10
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
Lord,
I’ve been thinking
Testing in your mind is not always a bad thing
To be tested and come through the trial,
gives a person confidence
You even ask us to test you out
Your not afraid
To be put to the test
To be put on trial
Your no one’s debtor
You simply ask us to be honest
You ask us not to hold back
Not to grudge our offerings
Instead you make a promise
If we will give generously and not hold back
You will match anything we give
Indeed you promise more than we could imagine.
Forgive me Lord
When I refuse the challenge of your generosity
When i play safe and hold on to what I have
Turn me around lord,
Give me the courage
To bring my gifts into your storehouse
And give me the faith to open my heart to receive your blessing
