Educating Leaders - No Conveyor Belt Education Here!

December 20, 2005 - Sacrifices Should Cost

Once again, I am reminded from David's life that the sacrifices we make to God should cost something to us.  Why do I say this comes from David's life?

David takes a census and God judges David's sin with a plague.  To stop the plague, David goes to Araunah's threshing floor to make an altar.  Araunah is all too willing to give his threshing floor to David . . . for free, no strings attached. 

David is wise and knows that a sacrifice without payment is worth nothing.  David says, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing." 

We no longer offer burnt offerings to our Lord, but we are to daily present our bodies as living, holy and acceptable sacrifices to God (Romans 12:1).  Our daily offerings should cost us something, not just be the extras that we would give anyway.
