The Key to Financial
Blessing
Malachi 3:7-12
We could all use our own
personal financial
adviser to help us
navigate the economic
turmoil of our times.
And according to the
prophet Malachi, we have
one--God Almighty. He
has a plan worked out
for our financial
security.
His key to financial
blessing is the simple
principle of Exodus
23:19: "You shall bring
the choice first fruits
of your soil into the
house of the LORD." In
offering God the first
of our earnings, we
acknowledge that He is
the source of everything
and we are completely
dependent upon Him. Old
Testament believers were
asked to set aside
merely a tithe--or ten
percent--of all that the
Lord generously gave.
Malachi equates keeping
God's portion for
oneself to robbing the
Almighty of what belongs
to Him (Mal. 3:8).
The Lord doesn't need
our money, but He knows
that we need to give.
Doing so with a generous
and willing heart
displays the character
of Christ in our lives.
Remember, Jesus is a
giver who gave His life
for our salvation.
Generosity is a way to
honor and worship the
Lord. If our only
expression of worship
comes from the lips, we
are missing the
opportunity to
demonstrate our love and
gratitude for all that
God has given us.
You can never out-give
your loving heavenly
Father. As you
obediently offer Him the
first part of your
income, you'll find that
He is faithful to His
Word: He will open the
windows of heaven and
pour out blessing until
it overflows (v. 10). In
reality, there is
greater financial risk
in keeping than in
giving.

Devotional from
