Poured Down Blessings



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.


Why did I chose this verse this week?
Though this verse speaks of tithing, I also see a lack of faith.
The people were not trusting the Lord to provide.
Unable to give freely and cheerfully,
they held on tightly to what they had.
Which makes me ponder what am I holding onto tightly,
and consequently...what blessings am I missing out on?
~ Dorie
