"..I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing." - 1 Kings 24:24b
We live in a society that wants much, but wants to only give the minimum to receive it. Here King David was offered something to give God that would cost him nothing; yet, his wisdom and relationship with the Lord detained him from doing the easy or convenient thing. David knew..
No sacrifice = No honor
No sacrifice = No blessing
No sacrifice = No personal growth
Just a reminder before Sunday that God deserves more than our freebies, leftovers and minimums. If we are to reflect authentic Kingdom ambassadorship, we've got to swim against the stream of societal norms and shift our thinking from "How little?" to "How much?"
The cross of Jesus Christ is proof that God is not a 'minimum' Giver!
