Bible Verse of The Day – 10-14-23

Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV) 18 “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

In the verse above, Moses is informing Israel that it is God who gives to them the ability to get wealth.

As His children, we should humbly acknowledge that this power is a God-given ability.

Hopefully we humbly acknowledge where our wealth comes from and are grateful to God for it.

Now, if it is God that gives us this ability to gain wealth, our next question is going to make us think.

Are we lacking in this area? Have we taken the wealth that He has already given to us and spent it foolishly?

God shows us what to do with our finances to make sure we have food in our house.

We must worship Him with our first fruit by giving Him a tenth of it, sowing it into the place that feeds us spiritually.

Are we taking this very important step? If not, then that may be why we are always struggling financially.

Malachi 3:10 (NKJV) 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.

God will pour out such blessings as we bring our tithes into the storehouse, worshipping Him and thanking Him for power or the God-given ability to get wealth.

He will also protect us and keep our fruit safe as we obey Him in this area, instead of being greedy with the finances that He provides.

Malachi 3:11 (NKJV) 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…

Who is he that tries to destroy our fruit? The enemy!

Let’s cut him off at the knees today, preventing him from stealing our finances, and follow what God has taught us, by bringing all our tithes into the storehouse. Amen.
