2 Samuel 24
Inspired thots
v24 "... I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing."
David wanted to sacrifice to God to stop the plague that was befalling on the Israelites. Araunah was willing to offer everything required for the king's offering but David knew that a SINCERE OFFERING COSTS!!
There must be a personal cost to a sacrifice; otherwise, it cannot be deemed as a personal sacrifice.
This reminds me of Jesus who sacrificed Himself for us; it costed Him His life.
Perhaps we can turn a sacrifice to be WITHOUT Cost if we have turned our hearts in Totality to God; then, it would not 'hurt' to 'sacrifice' for we would be WILLING Sacrifices even unto ourselves. That would be 'BEING LIKE JESUS'.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
