The people had come to God’s court and said, “you can’t judge us. We have been offering You the sacrifices.” But God reproved their sacrifices, Because the world is His and all it’s fullness.

Think about that. When you put your offering in the plate, you’re giving God something that isn’t already His? God wants us to give Him what He has not given us: “Offered to God Thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High” (vv.14). The sacrifices God wants most from us originate in our hearts calling upon Him, thanking Him and obeying Him. Bring to Him Thanksgiving and praise.

Do you want to bring glory to God? Thank Him for what He’s doing for you . Obey His word. Bring your problems to Him. These are the opportunities He can use to bring glory to Himself. When we bring these sacrifices, we glorify the Lord and God will save us from the trouble when we call upon Him in the day of trouble (vv.15).
