Malachi 3:10 When God says “Bring it on”

Posted on by Just broken

Malachi 3:10
Malachi 3 from The Message
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.”

“Bring it on” says God. Tithes of money, tithes of action, tithes of commitment. Bring it on and see if I don’t bless you, He says.

Do we believe that? Do we throw caution to the wind and tithe our lives to God? The Old Testament goes with 10%. Christ ups the ante substantially with His expectations. We are to live a life that glorifies God, a life of service to others, like Christ did, and did for us.

It’s not that hard, you just have to put others first, just like putting God first.

Bring it on He says, test me in this. Is your faith big enough to test Him?

In His Name,
Micah 6:8
Matthew 25:31-46

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
