Right Sacrifices

A sacrifice made in order to gain the love and appreciation of human beings will always result in disappointment. A sacrifice made for love of God will always be rewarded.


Scripture: "Offer right sacrifices and trust in the Lord" (Psalm 4:5).

A Weapon in God's Hand

You are a weapon in the Lord’s hand, not the other way around.

You are an arrow in His quiver, safe in Him as He carries you, safe in Him if He shoots you forth. Because He is God He never sends you beyond His reach.

It’s an immature perspective to think of God as YOUR weapon. You don’t keep the Almighty Lord like a concealed weapon, ready to be drawn when you are threatened or afraid. He is the Lord. You are His. You belong to Him. Somehow He also, through Jesus and through Holy Spirit Power; through God’s great love…somehow He is also yours. Jesus did change the water to wine at His mother’s request. But the driving perspective of your life needs to be, “Here am I, send me.”

Prioritize Your Time

You may confide to the Lord in detail all that is troubling You. There is no rule or law against pouring out your heart to Him, but you must not stop there. Thus it becomes important to prioritize your time when you come to sit at His feet. “Seek ye first…” (Matthew 6:33). First look at His face; gaze upon His countenance. Heart hurts will be uncovered, yes, but the overwhelming awareness will be of His love and of His grace.
