"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise." Proverbs 11:30

Your Giving Proves God, Opens the Windows of Heaven to You, and Causes the Devourer to Be Rebuked!

Malachi 3:8-11

In this passage of Scripture, God actually invites people to try (prove) Him - to verify His trustworthiness with their giving.  He says that by witheld giving we rob Him the privilege of pouring out great and overflowing blessings.  He calls for renewed giving with this promise.  First, there will be "food" or resources for God's work ("in My house").  Second, He says those who give will be placed in position to receive great, overflowing blessings.  You can experience the windows of heaven actually opening with blessing you will not be able to "receive" or contain!  Third, God says that He will "rebuke the devourer" for your sakes.  He will cause every blessing that has your name written on it to be directed to you, and Satan himself cannot stop it.  Do not be afraid to prove God with your giving; He is God and He will stand the test every time!

Word Wealth: Malachi 3:10 "Room Enough"

day (dye): Strong's #1767: Sufficient, enough; a large enough quantity; plenty; measurelessness.

Day occures about 40 times in the Old Testament.  Its first reference is in Exodus 36:5, which concerns a freewill offering of gold and other materials; the people gave so lavishly that the Scripture describes their gifts as "much more than enough."
Day
appears in the title of the famous Passover song of thanks entitled dayenu, meaning, "It would be enough for us." Each verse lists a favor that God did for Israel at the Exodus and concludes that, had He only done that much and no more, "it would have been enough."
