The Promise of Giving
God attaches a promise to the tithe. In Malachi 3:10, He commands, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it” (KJV). Unlike many other commands, here God invites us to “prove” Him—to test His faithfulness—and He assures us that obedience will release His blessings in our lives.
