7-14-2010. . . .WHO DOES THAT!
"Will a man rob God? Surely not! And yet you have robbed me. "'What do you mean? When did we ever rob you?' "You have robbed me of the tithes and offerings due to me. And so the awesome curse of God is cursing you, for your whole nation has been robbing me. ( Mal 3:8-9 TLB) To seal is one thing, but to rob is another thing all together. One who steals waits for an opportune time when no one is around or looking, then takes what belongs to another. One who robs, has blatant disregard for one he robs! He looks them in the eye and by force, takes what rightly belongs to them. Who does that? Who has nerve enough to do that to God? A curse is certainly the appropriate response from God!
Prayer: Lord, everything we have comes from you and belongs to you. How dare we ever consider robbing you of the small percentage you have set apart as your own. Unto you we freely and cheerfully give. Amen!
Prov 3:9-10. . . . Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. NIV
