Give careful thought to your financial practices
and never neglect God’s house and servants.
Read the following verses. Think
and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.
Haggai
1:4-12
“Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled
houses, while this house remains a ruin?” Now this is what the LORD
Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted
much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You
drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not
warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”
This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your
ways. Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build the
house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the
LORD. “You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What
you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the LORD Almighty.
“Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is
busy with his own house. Therefore, because of you the heavens have
withheld their dew and the earth its crops. I called for a drought
on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the oil
and whatever the ground produces, on men and cattle, and on the
labor of your hands.”
Nehemiah 10:39
(The leaders and the people repented and said) “We will not neglect
the house of our God.”
Exodus 22:29
(God says) “You must be prompt in giving Me the tithe.”
Deuteronomy 12:19
Be careful not to neglect the Levites (ministers) as long as you
live in your land.

Materialism is to generosity what
kryptonite was to Superman.
If everyone in your church followed your
pattern of giving, would your church receive a token, a tip or a
tithe?

Laptop PC Given For Bhutan Bible Translation
The Bible
teaches we are to give from “whatever we have.” While ministering in
India, I found myself without any cash and no ATMs within hundreds of
miles. I met a Christian from Burma who for 10 years had been
translating, by hand, the entire Bible into the Bhutanese language. He
had 66 school notebooks filled with all of his translation work. But he
now needed a computer so he could type everything into the computer and
have the Bible printed and distributed all over Bhutan. I wanted to help
him, but I didn’t have any cash. The LORD then prompted my heart with
the thought, “He doesn’t need money, he needs a computer; give him the
laptop computer you have.” The next morning, I gave my laptop to this
Christian brother so he could finish his translation work. He left
rejoicing in God’s provision.
