Are You a Thief?
Scripture
Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings.
(Malachi 3:8)
Devotional
“The earth is the Lord’s and all its fullness.” Furthermore, as stewards, man is to have dominion over all the earth and subdue it. These things we are to do according to the ways and laws of its Creator. God says, in essence, that it is a ninety to ten percent deal. He gives us ninety percent of His prosperity and only requires ten percent in return. Think about it. He owns it all. Yet, He allows us to keep the greater majority of that which He prospers through us. How foolish to think that we could continue to honestly prosper cheating the One to whom it all belongs. There are many ways to gain wealth, but there is only one way to truly prosper, God’s way. Dare to take God as your senior partner. Dare to trust Him with your finances and resources. For He says, “Try Me now in this,” and see “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.”
