Through his prophet Malachi, God invites us to put him to the test. He says to us, “‘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). God wants us to give generously, and he promises to bless us graciously and abundantly in return. We will be blessed spiritually, and, in his sovereignty, God may even choose to bless some of us materially. As we put him to the test through our giving, we express our gratitude, faith, and obedience which pleases God.
