"I will NOT sacrifice to the LORD... offerings that cost me nothing." 2SAMUEL 24:24
-I always consider these words of David, then I began to understand why God loved him so much. Because when David sinned He was quick to admit his guilt.
So when God told David to build an altar and burn two sacrifices on the land of another man, Araunah offered the land for free, with its oxen and woods for sacrifice. But David knowing the worth of a sacrifice to a God Who owns it all refused the free offer and replied; "No! David said, what I offer to God must cost me something. He is worthy of my best!"
Your attitude of giving unto God determines your altitude with your God. David said, He is worthy of my best! Not my worst! This is why the sacrifice of Cain was unacceptable unto God. Because Abel gave his best, but Cain gave his worst! Until you reach a point where you perceive God worthy of your best, you will always remain stagnant in the rest.
And so David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Is God worthy of your best?
Dear Lord, may everything I bring to You be my best! Amen
