We Owe God Everything

Scripture Malachi 1:6 “A son honors his father,
And a servant his master.
If then I am the Father,
Where is My honor?
And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?
Says the LORD of hosts
To you priests who despise My name.
Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’

Observation: Most of us take God for granted and instead of giving Him our first fruits we offer the scraps of our lives. God is our Father and Master and deserves all that we have and all that we have comes from God. We are called to magnify the Lord and we have our life on this earth to honor him. Others needs to see our love for God.

Application: I need to wake up every morning thanking God for allowing me to be here. Then ask what He would desire me to do for today. My sacrifice to him should be this life and it needs to be holy and pleasing to Him.

Prayer My Lord, I freely give you this life. Use it as You will and at the end of each day may I please You by what I did. I so desperately want to hear the words, well done good and faithful servant.
