Filled To Overflowing

Proverbs 3:8-10 – This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

Numbers 18:12 – “I give you all the finest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain they give the Lord as the firstfruits of their harvest.

2 Corinthians 9:8,10 – And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work…Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

Application:

• ·         Since the best items of produce were to be given to the Lord, these became the special foods of the priests and their families.
• ·         For those who bring to the Lord His tithes and offerings, God promises to pour out more blessing than they have room for.
• ·         Through His abounding grace God can enable each Christian to abound in generous deeds.
• ·         The God who is the ultimate source of the physical food that sustains all human life is the same God who supplies the spiritual nourishment that enables believers to flourish and serve.
