Bible verse of the day...Malachi 3:10 (NIV)

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 you will not have room enough for it. Malachi 3:10 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Every Sabbath day it is required of us to offer our tithes and offering to God. Whatever we have earned or have received for the entire week such as our income from work or business it is mandatory to give back to God what He has given us. I think the reason behind this is that the house of God should have some funds for its activities or missions and that includes the funds for church workers like the ministers,etc. Our Almighty God is a great provider. We should not be selfish for what He has given us. I think it would be embarrassing if we don't give Him back what we have received. If we give God 10% of our tithes, He will return it a hundred folds. I think we should also give Him our tithes with sincere hearts because God loves a cheerful giver. Further, we should always give what is best to God because He deserves it.
