Offering Is Part of My Worship (Part 2)
Dr RJ Sing
“Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)”
In the previous devotional we examined how Israel was to appear before the Lord. In *Psalms 96:8-9 the Psalmist said to all of God’s people, “Give unto the LORD the glory [due unto] his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.”*
The Scripture says “Bring an Offering and come into His courts”, but do not come without an offering. Here are three important facts about the offering of finances, or anything else, to God.
- Bringing an offering gives Glory to God. How are we to give Glory to God? By bringing an offering.
- Bringing an offering gives us access to God’s courts, if you want to have access into His courts, you must bring an offering.
- Bringing an offering is a God –Appointed part of our Worship.
Remember, our worship is not complete until we bring our offerings to God. Offering is part of our worship, which we should prepare in advance.
