"On the second day Nethanel...made an offering. He offered...one male goat for a sin offering; and for the sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs a year old...." (From Numbers 7, ESV)
Stop "bringing" stuff for your acceptance, forgiveness, favor, approval. We can earn nothing with The Living Triune God. From the lowest, most remote person to the most applauded and popular, "Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe." Not my good days nor bad days, great mission trips, $1000.00 seed offering, prayers, fasting, worship, nor a thousand rams could save me. "Tis, done, the great transaction's done. I am my Lord's and He is mine"---- only because of and in the Blood of Jesus.
Father, in Jesus' Name, Thank You. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
