Bring The Full Tithe Into The Storehouse
For I the LORD do not change;
therefore you, O children of Jacob, have not perished. Ever since the days of
your ancestors 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 anyone rob God? Yet you are
robbing me! But you say, “How are we robbing you?” In your tithes and
offerings! You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me – the whole
nation of you! Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be
food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts; see if I
will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an
overflowing blessing. I will rebuke the locust for you, so that it will not
destroy the produce of your soil; and your vine in the field shall not be
barren, says the LORD of hosts. Then all nations will count you happy, for you
will be a land of delight, says the LORD of hosts.
We live in an age when many people
peopled believe there are no absolutes. Self-serving behavior is rampant and
tramples the moral law given for the protection of society. Our culture prides
itself on “freedom” that is actually slavery to sin.
There is a God of absolutes, whose
scales never lose their adjustment. With Him, a pound is a pound.
For us as believers, this puts steel
into our spiritual backbone. We gain confidence in the face of difficulty and
are assured of the fulfillment of every divine promise.
If God were easily moved by every whim
or notion, our eternal destiny would be in constant jeopardy. But because He is the Unchanging One. Our eternal destiny is
safe with Him if we accept Jesus as our Personal Savior.
Earth changes,
but God and His Word stand sure!
