Blessed beyond measure

Recently things have been tough with NVHT (my company.) We've had some false starts with investors and have really been struggling since July 08. Today though was a breakthrough moment, and we finally found our investment money. Enough to last us 12 months assuming absolutely zero income from sales. We're really hoping it does not come to that. After walking out of our meeting with the investors at 5:30 PM I had a car ride home to contemplate the last two years and the ups and downs of that time period.

I realize that I'm not the only one in the company, but I've noticed something very strange:

Every time things get rough, it generally correllates to my laziness in paying tithing on time. As soon as I square up with the lord, things get resolved. I've literally seen it a dozen times. Over the last 8 months when things were tough and we didn't know how we were going to cover our bills, tithing made the difference.

Tithing.

There are a select few principles of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ that I have absolute certainty in. Not faith. Certainty.

There is a God in Heaven, he knows me, and blesses me more than I deserve.

Tithing works. God doesn't need our tithing, WE need to pay tithing.

T.A.
