The people weren't bringing God nothing.
They were bringing Him something.
The problem was...
It wasn't their best.
They gave God what nobody else wanted.
The leftovers.
The blind sheep.
The lame sheep.
The diseased sheep.
But before we're too hard on them...
Maybe we should ask ourselves a question.
What do we tend to give God?
Our first and best?
Or whatever time and energy we have left?
Because God isn't after leftovers.
He's worthy of our best.

Today's Question:Have I been giving God my first and best, or whatever happens to be left?
Today's Challenge: Choose one area today…your time, attention, generosity, or obedience…and intentionally give God your best instead of your leftovers.
Today's Prayer: “Jesus, You've given Your very best for me. Help me respond by giving my best back to You.”
