How My Flooded Apartment Showed Me What It Truly Means When God "Pours You Out a Blessing"

Keywords

Abstract

We all yearn to have our prayers answered. We trust God when He says, “Ask and ye shall receive. Knock and it shall be opened unto you.” We expect the blessings of heaven to be ours if we faithfully and persistently petition God for our needs. Many of us know this scripture (or its truths) by heart:

“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).
