1949.—The Kind of a Blessing. Mal. 3: 10.

What kind of a blessing is spoken of in Mal. 3:10? Have any Adventist tithe-payers received such a blessing that they had not room to receive it? B.
First of all, and above all, spiritual blessing, stronger, clearer, more constant life-union with God and confidence in Him with whom we come in partnership. Secondly, temporal blessing, and if we can bear it, abundant temporal blessing. Perhaps a better answer could not be given the latter question than to ask, Have any of the class referred to been blessings to others. Every direct blessing which comes from God's children is an overflow blessing. "The Lord is my Shepherd. . . . My cup runneth over." Psalm 23. No man can ever truly obey with all his heart what God says in Mal. 3:10, and not receive a blessing. If he fails, he has failed to obey. God can not fail. Yes, Paul suffered hunger, yet he found God's grace sufficient. All of God's great blessings reach over into the glorious beyond.
