God is generous and so he calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are at and helps proclaim the gospel. The Prophet Malachi declares, “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) Our Lord calls on us to test His goodness by trusting Him with our finances. When we respond in faith, we are proclaiming our dependence on Jesus, offering thanksgiving for His provision and praising His Holy Name.
