Today's Scripture *July 31, 2008*
Proverbs 21: 27
The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
The kind of worship (sacrifice) described in this proverb is no better than a bribe.
How do people try to bribe God?
They may go to church, tithe, or volunteer, not because of their love and devotion to God, but because they hope God will bless them in return. But God has made it very clear that He desires obedience and love more than religious ritual.
Proverbs 21:3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
1 Samuel 15: 22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
God does not want our sacrifices of time, energy, talent, and money alone; He wants our hearts--our complete love and devotion. We may be able to bribe people Proverbs 21: 14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
But we cannot bribe God!
Father, help us to give You complete worship!
May our lives be sweet smelling sacrifices unto You.
We love You Lord! In Your Name, Amen..
Have a blessed day in Him!
