Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the LORD of hosts.Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the LORD of hosts.
We are to gladly give our first and best and meet our needs with all that’s left
As we do so, God grants us provision to match our vision and expands them both well beyond our ability to think or ask.
Proverbs 11:24
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;
and there is that withholdeth more than is meet,
but it tendeth to poverty.
The one who gives, grows.
The one who gives, grows.
The one who keeps, shrinks.
Generosity grows the pie,
while scarcity cuts thinner pieces.
"I prayed him that he would give me largess of the food, for which he had given me largess of desire." -- Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Inferno
