Those who have put their faith in Christ, and accepted God’s free gift of everlasting life, understand that God has given His very best in offering Jesus as a sacrifice for our sins. He gave it all in order that we would have a way to be reconciled back to our creator and live for eternity with Him. God gave His very best, but do we give our very best to Him each day?

The priests in the Old Testament were often guilty of offering up to God during their sacrifices, the worst crops, the worst animals, the bare minimum they could. How often are we guilty of the same behavior. Today, we don’t follow the Old Testament laws, but our daily sacrifice is our lives . . . our time . . . our talents…and our treasure. How many days do we do the minimal amount for God, giving Him less than our best???

All I am trying to do is to get you to realize that God has done so much for us, and we get comfortable doing the least amount for Him in return. We grudgingly go to church to be fed spiritually, we complain about giving to those causes which God is using to bless people, we hesitate to volunteer our precious time to help others. We live our lives in a way to give God as little as possible.

Pray today, that you might begin to give God your very best. He has blessed many of you with time, talents, and treausre to do many things. Don’t hoard those blessings for your own benefit, but use them for the benefit of the Kingdom. He hasn’t blessed you so you can hold onto those blessings, but that you might, in return, bless others. Give God your very best today. http://www.liveprayer.com/today.cfm
