Which we have heard and known,
and our fathers have told us.

We will not hide them from their children,
shewing to the generation to come
the praise of the Lord,
and his strength,
and his wonderful works that he hath done.

That the generation to come
might know them,
even the children which should be born;
who should arise
and declare them to their children.

That they might set their hope in God,
and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments.

When he slew them,
then they sought him:
and the returned and inquired early after God.

And they remembered that God was their rock,
and the high God their redeemer.

So he fed them
according to the integrity of his heart:
and guided them
by the skilfulness of his hands.

Psalm 78

Last night, just before turning out the bedroom light, I read the daily portions in Daily Light on the Daily Path.

This particular selection provoked a question within me:

“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.”

My question was, How do I do that?

Well, this morning I read the entire verse. Hmmmm. I see I had forgotten there is more to that verse than what’s quoted above.

And the entire verse answers my question.

See what you think:

“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).

Oh. That!
