An Offering
“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name: bring an offering, and come into His courts”
(Psalm 96:8).
What a tremendous privilege it is to come into the presence of the Lord and bring an offering. To bring the best offering you can to Him today, bring your heart, a heart that is full of love and praise for what Jesus did for you at Calvary’s cross and all the eternal blessings that you have received as a result. “Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving” (Psalm 95:2). “Come before His presence with singing” (Psalm 100:2).
The Lord told Moses, “And none shall appear before Me empty” (Exodus 34:20). Are we going to appear in the presence of the Lord empty today…with nothing to offer…no praise…no worship…no thanksgiving…no response of gratefulness in our hearts? To come into His presence with nothing to offer is a very sad state of soul indeed. “By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name” (Hebrews 13:15).
