(Malachi 1:1-2, 6-8) When you withhold your best from God, it is never just about money or offerings—it is a test of your trust in His love. The people of Malachi’s day lived in disappointment and scarcity, doubting God’s care, which led them to offer blemished sacrifices and guarded hearts. Their actions declared: “God isn’t worth my best, and I have to take care of myself.” But the heart of worship is not about surplus—it’s about faith. God’s unchanging love, proven supremely at the cross, calls us to trust Him even when resources feel thin. True sacrifice flows from being convinced again of the Father’s abundant love. Bring your best—not because you must, but because you know His heart is more than enough.
