Robert, I pray that God grant you favor, Pslams 5:12 For thou Lord wilt bless the righteous with favor wilt thou compass him with a shield? The verse above states 11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them that also love thy name be joyful in thee. David praised him in the midst of his troubles! What troubles, "You say?" Being nearly killed by King Saul, threatened to be stoned by his own men, after the capture of his and their families! He praised him! Remember tithing is important, and praying for others in like situations, that the Lord will bless them also speeds up answers to prayers! The widow woman gave out of her need (three mites) was a lot to her, for it was out of her desperation that Jesus knew her love for God! Our tithes can be worship to God! Can we ever outgive him? No! He gives us his mercy and his grace everyday! God does love a cheerful giver. Sometimes we think it is just in money, but it can be our time, ----time to help someone, bake or buy a cake for someone who is lonely, share a smile or a word of encouragement who may be discouraged, or distraught over the loss of a loved one, or facing surgery, and scared! III John 3:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health,even as thy soul prospereth. Lord, I ask in Your Sweet Holy Name, Jesus, bless Robert! Amen!
