Send it on Ahead

“Honor the Lord from your wealth, and from the first of all your produce; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10

When candy manufacturer John S. Huyler started out in business, he pledged 10% of his earnings to God. He opened a special bank account that he initialed “M.P.” which stood for “My Partner.” As he kept his promise to God, his industry grew at a phenomenal rate, and each week the Lord’s treasury received increasingly larger sums. His many gifts and contributions were always accompanied with the request that the recipient offer praise to God alone, for Huyler said, “After all, the money isn’t mine; it’s the Lord’s!”

Dear friend, do you want God as your partner? Then put Him first in your finances. Tithe to your church and donate generously to His Kingdom. Remember that giving to the Lord can be sweet business! You can’t take money with you when you die, but you can send it on ahead.
