A couple weeks ago I wrote about tithing. More importantly, I wrote about my own dilemma of whether I would tithe and be late on my mortgage and possibly start a snowball of missed bills or not tithe and pay the mortgage on time but live with the guilt that I couldn't or didn't trust God in what He promised in Malachi 3:10 "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 such a blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it."
I gave my tithe. I just knew that if I did, God would provide a blessing. That blessing came last week in the form of eight hours of over time which was on today's paycheck! I was able to (of course) set aside money for my tithe, catch up all the bills and even pay one a little early. I had enough left over to buy some tomato plants for the garden and I will even be able to fill the gas tank up with some of that liquid gold commonly known as gasoline! God has opened His storehouse and I'm very grateful!
It's really easy to look back and say "I knew He would come through just in the nick of time as always" but when we were going through it and didn't know how or when the blessing would come it was pretty hard to take that leap of faith, but I'm so glad we did.
Now we can breathe easier for a couple of weeks... That is, until we need to take the next leap of faith....
