In 2 Chronicles 1:6
Solomon sought the Lord at the Tent of the Meeting, offering 1,000 sacrifices,
in order to please and hear from the God.
What would be your 1,000
offerings?
The answer to this question
can be found in Hebrews 13:15-16Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually
offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that
openly profess his name.16 And do not forget
to do good and to share with others, for with such
sacrifices God is pleased.
It’s not a finite number,
but it’s a continual offering and sacrifice of praise through four ways that
pleases God.
1. Honoring
Him with what comes out of our mouths. Everything we say should bring God
glory.
2. Openly
professing the Name of Jesus as Savior. This is the “applying the Word to my
life” part. You witness and share Jesus with your lifestyle.
3. Doing
good – being godly. We are called to be righteous, holy and just in all our
dealings with the world.
4. Sharing
with others – loving your neighbors. Jesus said it best that we are to love our
neighbors as much as we love ourselves. This is where “being Jesus with skin
on” can come in to play.
How’s
your continual offering and sacrifice of praise of doing?
