Romans 12:1 “So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take
your everyday, ordinary life-your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and
walking-around life-and place it before God as an offering.”
Yesterday at church, my
mom had lost her voice and could barely be heard as she gave the lesson. When it came time to read the scripture she
had me read it for her. I read out of
the Message version which usually says things more modernly. As I read out of Amos, it used the word ‘gimcrack.’ I had never heard the term before, although I
guessed at its general meaning. When I
looked it up, the dictionary said a gimcrack was, “A cheap and showy object.” Bam!
It smacked me in the face. What
are you offering God? Are you coming
before Him with your random objects or acts that mean nothing? Don’t make a show of doing something for
Christ. Give Him your all or don’t give
Him anything. Don’t offer something that
looks good to our eyes but is useless to Him.
If you want to serve Him, give Him what’s worth the most…your life.
Proverbs 3:9 “Honor God with everything you own; give Him the first and
the best.”
