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!
