"Honor the LORD with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;" (Proverbs 3:9)
8 “ Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘ In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”
Says the LORD of hosts,
“ If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
11 “ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”
Says the LORD of hosts;
12 And all nations will call you blessed,
For you will be a delightful land,”
Says the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 3:8-12)
14Do all things without grumbling and
faultfinding and complaining [[l]against God] and [m]questioning and doubting [among yourselves],
15That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guiltless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation [spiritually perverted and perverse], among whom you are seen as bright lights (stars or beacons shining out clearly) in the [dark] world,
16Holding out [to it] and offering [to all men] the Word of Life: (Philippians 2:14-16)

all great Scriptures! I loved the promise in Malachi if we tithe, he will provide our needs for us; I've seen it time after time after time
enjoy your week ahead
betty
Funny how people make a big thing out of tithing. It all belongs to G-d and yet He ask us to return to Him 10% No brainer to me.
Thanks for sharing.
