OFFER

Psalms 50:14 (NKJV) 14 Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High.
   Too many have the mistaken belief that God is more pleased with a sacrifice than with Holy living, that He is giving credit to those who placate Him. A child took all the cookies from the cookie jar and hid them in his room, while cleaning his room, mother discovered the theft, chastising her son he replied, "But I did it for you so you wouldn't have to worry if we had any cookies."
   God examines the heart, that alone tells the story of the life of man, our hearts betray us and we are discovered in God's will or completely outside His will. We either belong to Jesus or the world, where is your heart, are you offering God thanksgiving, have you paid your vows?
Heavenly Father in You there is life, in You there is hope, in You there is Eternity, there is no other. May we offer the Thanksgiving that pleases You, may our lives be the example You have required. Amen
