A Memorial Offering

Scripture: Acts 10: 4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.
The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.

Observation: What do I give God as a memorial offering? Is it the way I act, the things I do or my gifts to the poor? If it is, it’s not much of an offering, it may even be considered an insult. My intentions are good at times, yet my focus comes back on what I want more then what God wants.

Application: My life should be a living sacrifice given onto God. There should not be a day that goes by that I don’t bring a smile on His face. Before I do or say anything I must say to myself does this honor God?

Prayer: Dear Lord fill me with the Holy Spirit and direct your servant to honor you. Use what I do today as an offering pleasing to you.
