“‘Do I eat the meat of bulls?
Do I drink the blood of goats?
Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God,
and keep the vows you made to the Most High.
Then call on me when you are in trouble,
and I will rescue you,
and you will give me glory.
But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me.
If you keep to my path,
I will reveal to you the salvation of God.’”
Psalm 50:13–15, 23
encouragement for today
What does God want from us? Does he want our religious activity? No, he wants our hearts. He wants our gratitude, our faithfulness, our obedience, and our trust. He wants nothing less than everything we are and have. When we honor him from our hearts, what can we count on? Rescue in the time of trouble, and nothing less than salvation. To what end? The glory of God.
