Homiletic Monthly Malachi 3:10 Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, said the LORD of hosts… Not room enough in our hearts! They are limitless in their sense of need. 1. Sense of poverty. God's title-deed expresses limitless ownership. 2. Sense of bereavement. God fills this with assurance of immortal reunions. 3. Sense of ignorance. God promises the Spirit to "lead you into all truth." 4. Sense of sin. "If sin abound, grace doth much more abound." 5. Sense of uselessness in purpose. Life's energies drained into self, as the Jordan into the Dead Sea, instead of the desires flowing out to bless man kind. 6. Sense of little service with the best intentions. God makes a Christian useful beyond his ability, his planning, and his knowledge. (Homiletic Monthly.) Parallel Verses KJV: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. |
