神给你的远超过你所奉献的

We Cannot Out-Give God

地上所有的……十分之一是耶和华的……—— 利未记 27:30

A tenth of the produce of the land…is the Lord’s.

—Leviticus 27:30 (TLB)

   我们要成为金钱的管家。当这些金钱 因为上帝的荣耀而被投资和分享时，它便会成为恩惠和祝福。我认识一位密歇根州底特律的商人，他承诺将他全部收入的十分之一奉献给神的工作。他说此后他的业务增长了三倍，神给他的远远超过他所奉献的。

不久前我听到一位来自加利福尼亚州圣华金河谷的工人说，他和他的妻子打算将收入的十分之一奉献给主。在他们作此决定之时，他一年仅有七个月能找到工作。而现在他已经有一份稳定的工作，并且收入几乎是他以前收入的两倍。

你不能回避奉献。圣经应许凡向神奉献的人，他的生活和灵里必不至缺乏。神给你的远超过你所奉献的。我鼓励你试试看。

We are to be stewards of our money. When it is invested and shared for the glory of God, it can be a boon and a blessing. I know a businessman in Detroit, Michigan, who made a promise to God that he would tithe his entire income to the work of the Lord. He said his business had tripled, and that God had more than fulfilled His end of the bargain.

Some time ago I heard from a laborer in the San Joaquin Valley of California who said that he and his wife agreed to give one tenth of their income to the Lord. At the time they made their decision, he was able to get work only about seven months of the year. Now he says he has steady work, and is earning nearly twice what he was before.

You cannot get around it; the Scripture promises material and spiritual benefits to the man who gives to God.  You cannot out-give God. I challenge you to try it and see.

今日祷告

主啊，求你宽恕我，因为我常想保留那本应该属于你的东西。

Prayer for the day

Forgive me, Lord,  for the times I have wanted to keep that which is rightfully Yours.
