Money

S ~ Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! Malachi 3:10

O ~ "Put me to the test."  What an amazing invitation. So many preachers have spoken of this verse - as the only place in Scripture we are invited to test the Lord. 

A ~ I wonder why of all the things we could test the Lord in, He allows us to do this. Finances.  Of all the things God says we can't serve as well as God, finances. The root of all evil, or all kinds of evil - the love of money. Such power. I must not underestimate the power of finances. 

P ~ Lord, thank You for your provision - and your abundant blessing. Please keep my heart free from the grip of money.
