Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. ~ Malachi 3:10
This verse is taken out of a passage in the book of Malachi in which God is talking to Israel about tithing. The interesting thing is that in this particular passage God refers to Himself four times as “The LORD of hosts.” He is using one of His covenant names to reveal Himself. The LORD of hosts refers to God being the Lord over the hosts of angels. God was revealing to Israel that if they would tithe right, He would be the LORD of hosts to them. In other words, the one who tithes has the promise of angels getting involved in his or her finances. This is a wonderful promise!
