Malachi 3:8–12 “One is blessed temporally for obedience to the law of tithing. But the greatest blessings of the Lord are, after all, spiritual in nature. Perhaps that is the deeper meaning to the expression, ‘I will open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it’ (Malachi 3:10).

The greatest blessings of the Lord are spiritual, and not material.’ (Crusader for Righteousness, p. 124.)” (Ezra Taft Benson, The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson [1988], 472–73).
