01. The Law
People claimed they had no money for the Temple, but plenty for luxury homes. Result: "You sow much, and harvest little... he who earns wages puts them into a bag with holes." God was "blowing away" their money.
"He who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes."
02. The Mechanics
The mechanic is Priority. When we put our needs above the Kingdom, money loses value. The "hole in the bag" isn't the devil; it's God showing that without Him, nothing holds value. Blessing depends on the order of spending.
03. The Application
Does money evaporate? Check the order. If God is the last check you write, the bag stays torn. Invert the order. Put God's House first, and God will stitch your bag.
