Deuteronomy 16:21 - 18:22
In Chapter 17, verse 1, Moses is laying out the specifications of an offering--that it must be without defect. I believe God wants the same perfection in our sacrifice today. No, I don't think we need to be perfect--we couldn't if we tried! But, when we are offering ourselves to do something for the Lord, I believe God wants our best. When we commit to doing something for the Lord, He's not looking for our excuses, those are flaws and defects in our sacrifice. Let's do everything unto the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength!
Luke 14:15-35
Following Christ is not to be a flippant decision. Just as we saw in Deuteronomy, how God doesn't want flawed sacrifices, He also wants us to follow Him completely, not just partly. Jesus gives the example of building a tower or going to war. We need to be prepared when we follow Christ. This goes for our decision to continually follow Him, as well as our decisions to serve Him. Let us remain salty!
Psalm 44:13-26
Talk about tugging at a dad's heartstrings: "Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love." Help me Lord, because You love me!!
