Yet from the days of your fathers you have gone away from My ordinances and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” Says the Lord of hosts. “But you said, ‘In what way shall we return?’“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 3:7-8
I went to church for about six months feeling as if there was a great divide between God and I. I would pray to Him, yet, I was not getting from Him what I thought I should have from serving God. I prayed very hard, asking God, "Why aren't You showing me what I wanted?" Yet, every Sunday, during offering, I would hear the verse mentioned above.
No one ever told me why God asked the question, "Will a man rob God?" So, I began to read it myself and it said that we had gone away from what He told us to do. Verse six says, "I am the Lord, I change not." We left Him, He never left us.
So, God wants you to come back to Him and you want to get back to God. How is the bridge between the two going to be repaired? The Word of God says, give Him what's His.
To rob someone means to take something in their face. When the offering is done during worship, that is God's hand out asking for what belongs to Him. If anyone would rob God, what makes your money safe around them?
DAILY LOVE FROM HIM ABOVE
