God Deserves Your Best
Read Malachi 1:8
(8) “When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals, is that not wrong?” Malachi 1:8
—
The people weren't bringing God nothing.
They were bringing Him something.
The problem was...
It wasn't their best.
They gave God what nobody else wanted.
The leftovers.
The blind sheep.
The lame sheep.
The diseased sheep.
But before we're too hard on them...
Maybe we should ask ourselves a question.
What do we tend to give God?
Our first and best?
Or whatever time and energy we have left?
Because God isn't after leftovers.
He's worthy of our best.
