what kind of offering are you?...

Isaiah 43:22-25

²² "Yet you have not called upon me, O Jacob,
you have not wearied yourselves for me, O Israel.

²³ You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings,
nor honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with grain offerings
nor wearied you with demands for incense.

²⁴ You have not bought any fragrant calamus for me,
or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins
and wearied me with your offenses.

²⁵ "I, even I, am he who blots out
your transgressions, for my own sake,
and remembers your sins no more.

Our lives are a perpetual offering unto God. We will either offer up a sweet aroma of sacrifice and obedience or become the stench of sin and rebellion. We will either live intentionally, offering up to God our time, talent, treasures and attention or we will ignore His Word, His presence, His will and His calling.

Lord, make me always mindful of Your calling on my life. Let my life be a sweet smelling offering of sacrifice and obedience to You. Strengthen me and discipline me to obey and sacrifice that I may be a sweet smelling aroma to You. Amen.
