Wouldn't it be great if money really did rain down on us
whenever there was a storm? Frank
Sinatra made this song famous based on this one idea. (Pennies from Heaven Lyrics) What Frank didn't know is that it’s
TRUE!
Malachi 3:10 … “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of
heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room
enough to store it.” This blessing
that is poured out from heaven can come in many forms depending on what you've
brought into it. If you've given God your money, then you will be blessed
financially. If you've given God your
time serving others, you’ll be blessed with more opportunities to serve at a
higher level of influence. You see, Malachi
3:10 begins like this: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be
food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty.
My husband, Troy and I serve as lay marriage counselors at
our church. A couple that we meet with
was going through a huge financial burden to the point of eating once a
day, if that. After discovering this and
the fact that they hadn't eaten yet that day (it was almost 8 pm), my husband took
out all the cash we had with us and it was a $20 bill. The husband’s eyes filled up and he and his
wife told us that they had just asked Jesus for $20 on the way to the
meeting. They had been feeling like God
didn't see their need and that he didn't hear their prayer. Only Jesus could have set that up. Earlier that day, I had been searching for
lunch money for my girls, I had seen the $20, but decided not to send it with
them and so I took the $3 out instead, leaving the $20. That night that couple really did get money
from heaven, and my husband and I got to be a part of it.
Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into
the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says
the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of
heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room
enough to store it.”
Could you use blessings from heaven? Whether you are going through the storms of
life or days full of sunshine and happiness, God’s word stands true. Jesus has blessings from heaven waiting for
you; so much so that you won’t be able to contain it. Ask Him, it’s really that simple.
