The e ' 'do' and dont· ., ti ually cannot be kept except by the power of God.

' nother aying is, "habit i a cable. \Ve weave a thread of it each d a)· until at la t we cannot break it." The Lord must be guiding u alwa 1· . During the month of ovember is al o a time for new resolutions, new con1rni tment . At this time of thank gi·vi ng it is good to ask the Lord to earch our h eart . Are we doing our be t for Him? Are we grateful for Hi enablement, His ble ing ? Are we giving our best, our all to Him? Some folk have been led to consider God's needs for f i– nance ! F or what, for whom? Doesn' t He O\:\' Il the cattle on a thousand hills, the ilver the gold, yes every– thing? Yes, but we do not act like He owned it. "What I have is m ine and what's mine is my own" is ou r attitude. is it not? Let's prove the Lord, let's make it "Prove Me" month!!! If we h ave never really practiced tithing, let u start this month by giving ten per– cent of our income before any de– ductions are made, if we are a real tither let's double or triple our tithe to the Lord. Put God to the test! He knows our expenses, our com– mitments. He will have to help us make the 90% , 80%, 70% reach , for He also tells us in His Word to ' 'owe no man anything, but to love one another, for he that loveth an– other hath fulfilled the law."
