Blessed to Overflowing

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.

What an awesome truth this is! And I can tell you by experience, God will keep his word. Since I was a boy, I have given God my firstfruits. In other words, I have given him ten per cent of my income and offerings on top of that. As I have done this, God has always blessed me "to overflowing." I have had people call it "luck." I have had people be jealous at how God has blessed us. I know of people that have been critical of me because of God's blessing and favor upon me. But it really isn't about what I have done or the abilities that I have that have brought about the wealth I have...its all all about God blessing a person when he gives first of everything to God.

Even in times of economic trouble, God is faithful and I have no doubt He will continue to be. I encourage you to give your firstfruits to God. Stop questioning His Word. Stop listening to others. Stop arguing whether you can do it. Just do it and watch God bless you "to overflowing" too.

Have a wonderful week!
