Spending in faith

wallet Jehoida’s Chest

2 Kings 12.  It is wrong to rob God by not contributing to his ministry (Malachi 3). It is also wrong for those in ministry to hoard those contributions instead of investing them.  Kingdom work requires maintenance.

LORD, give us the courage to spend in faith, not to hoard in fear or neglect.

Guarding ourselves spiritually

tree at beach Malachi 2:13-16.  The prophet spoke to the men who were complaining that God no longer accepted their worship. He said that the LORD had been a witness at their first wedding. When they divorced and remarried, God punished them by covering their garments with violence.

LORD, help us to be faithful, and so guard ourselves spiritually.
