S ~ But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it, for I will not present burnt offerings to the Lord my God that have cost me nothing.” 2 Samuel 24:24
O ~ There is something in sacrifice that is beautiful, when done in worship to the Lord. Obedience is better, but you don’t have to choose between them - you can do both.
A ~ I have forgotten the attitude of sacrifice in serving the Lord. I have been pastoring, and somewhere along the line, forgot that the sacrifices I make to do so, are not just for the people, but for the Lord. It’s ok if pastoring costs me something - especially if I can offer it in worship to the Lord.
P ~ Lord, I again give you my life - a living sacrifice, and may it be holy and acceptable in Your sight, which is my reasonable service ~ my spiritual act of worship.
