I’m going to say something that you will probably think is crazy. I know the secret to having everything you need and want. You can have money, a car, a house, whatever it is that you want, within reason.
Interested? Give away everything you have. Give away your last penny to someone who will never pay you back.
God wants us to give to Him. He wants us to be the light of the world. He wants us to be willing to give everything to back up who we are in Him. But this command comes with a promise. In Malachi God demands our tithes and offerings, but offers also His provision. “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.”
When Jairo and I need money for something, we give. And we don’t give fifty cents or five dollars. We give until it hurts. And you know what? We always have what we need. Money is nothing for God. He just wants to know where our hearts are. He loves to provide for us, and even more if we are depending on Him.
Who are you depending on? Your job? Yourself? Do you know who gave you your job? Do you know who gives you life each day? Serve God and give to Him, and He will bless you beyond your wildest dreams.
If you happen to see our bank account someday, don’t worry if it’s empty. We’re just making room for more.
Great thoughts, that makes sense!
