Offering
1 Chronicles 21:24 But King David replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying full price. I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing."
I came across this verse while doing my BSF homework. We are now on the chapters after the Ten Commandmants were given. One of the verses in Exodus mentioned that each man in Israel was to offer what his heart prompts him to give. The verse from 1 Chronicles above was given as a reference.
David had insisted on paying for the threshing floor, the animals and so on for the offering to God because he didn't want to sacrifice something that did not cost him anything to God. How can it be called a sacrifice if there is no cost?
What are we offering to God? Are we giving Him our residual time left over from school or work and other commitments? What are we sacrificing for Him? What are we giving Him in return for all the things that He has done for us?
He is often a 2nd thought. Or a 2nd priority. He comes after school, after work, after rest, after leisure. Because He is not visible, we often forget Him as we scamper around filling our lives with things that we think would fill us.
We do devotion only when we remember or if we're not tired. We only join in church activities if our schedule permits. We only serve in church if it doesn't require us too much time.
Why are they all conditional? Why can't we put Him above everything? And I do mean everything. School, work, family commitments, social life.. EVERYTHING.
If the gift you're offering up to Him today does not cost you anything, is it still an offering?
