What Will My Memorial Offering Be?
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: I wonder if I do anything that goes up to God as a memorial offering? I wonder when I help serve like the spaghetti dinner or the Father Daughter breakfast that I will do tomorrow if that goes before the Lord. I wonder if there is anything else that I do that rates going before the Lord, maybe the way I treat my wife, others, when I share my testimony or proclaim Jesus as my Lord and Savior? Do I do these things often enough to be a memorial offering?
Application: I should be doing so much more that is worthy of my Lord. How awesome would it be to do things that come up before the Lord. I wonder if He smiles when He sees things done in His name? I need to get out of my comfort zone and make serving Him my main priority in this life, so when I get home my Lord might say I received your offering well done.
Prayer: Dear Lord I want you to be proud of me. I want what I do to manner in your presence and that this life would be an offering to you. I freely give you this life as a living sacrifice, may it be holy and pleasing to you.
