"In order to bestow His blessings on His children in a just and equitable
manner, the Lord has instituted laws that govern those blessings that He wants
all of us to enjoy....
"The Lord knew from the beginning that we, His children, would be faced with
temporal and spiritual adversities during this mortal life. Indeed, these
adversities are a vital part of this mortal probation. He knew that we would
stand in need of His blessings throughout our lives in order to not only survive
our individual trials, but also to enjoy a degree of comfort and even
prosperity.
"Thus the law of tithing, which was instituted from the beginning. We know from
the scriptures that Abraham was blessed through his obedience to this law, and
we now have that same law as it was reiterated by the Savior during His visit to
the inhabitants of the American continent almost 2,000 years ago:
"'Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my
house; and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open
you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be
room enough to receive it.' (3
Nephi 24:10–12; see also
Malachi 3:10–12.)" -

Law of Tithing," Ensign, November 2006
