Why should you honor the Lord with your wealth?
Honor the Lord with your wealth and the first part of your harvest. Then your barns will be full of grain, and your barrels will be overflowing with wine.
Proverbs 3:9-10 (ERV)
We are being encouraged in this scripture to honor the Lord with our wealth and the first part of our increase. When we do, the Bible tells us that we will reap the following benefits:
1. Your barns will be full of grain
Your barns refers to your storehouse, the places where you keep the proceeds of your harvest or earnings. This could refer to your finances, your business, your ministry, anything that you lay your hands to, God has promised to bless it:
The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land He is giving you.
Deuteronomy 28:8 (NIV)
2. Your barrels will overflow with wine
Barrels overflowing with wine gives us a picture of abundance and joy that comes when we receive the Holy Spirit into our lives. When we honor God He blesses us with so much more so that we can be more of a blessing to others:
The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
Joel 2:24 (NKJV)
Prayer
Dear Lord, I choose to honor You with my wealth and the first part of my earnings. I know that as I do You will bless me with abundance and joy in Jesus name.
