Trusting God with Provision

Date: February 20, 2026

Scripture Reading: Malachi 3:10

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!”

Malachi delivers a direct challenge to God’s people regarding their faithfulness in giving. Their offerings had grown inconsistent, reflecting a deeper issue of trust. God calls them to bring what was required, not as a burden, but as an act of faith. Obedience in provision reveals confidence in who truly sustains us.

This verse reminds us that generosity is not about loss; it is about trust. When resources feel limited, holding tightly can seem wise. Yet God invites His people to step forward in obedience, trusting that He is their ultimate source. Giving becomes a declaration that security is found in Him, not in accumulation.

Malachi also highlights God’s faithfulness. When His people align their obedience with trust, He responds with provision. This does not reduce faith to a transaction. Rather, it reveals God’s heart to bless those who depend on Him sincerely. Obedience positions us to witness His faithfulness more clearly.

As we move through this season, Malachi 3:10 invites us to evaluate how we view provision. Are we trusting God with what He has already given us? Faith grows when obedience leads the way, even before outcomes are visible.
