SACRIFICES

Today's reading: Leviticus 7-9

I'm reading this morning the chapters in Leviticus that give an account of the ordination of God's first priests, Aaron and his sons.

These chapters detail the sacrifices made, the hard work involved and the seriousness with which God asked it all be done.

My take-away is this...

True worship.

Heartfelt, life offering, genuine worship and praise aren't for the faint of heart!

Giving to God your life, offering to God your praise, living for God every moment of every day is not easy, is not always pretty and is tough if you are the least bit squeamish.

Because it gets dirty. It gets bloody. It gets sweaty. It might stink. It might hurt.

But, with all He's done for us, He deserves every ounce of effort we put into it.

It makes me want to worship harder than I have been. It gives me more reason to praise.
