Sacrifice & Share

For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.  Hebrews 13:14-16 NKJV

Sacrifice was the most intimate act of worship that an Israelite could have with God. That was the time that God showed up and his presence felt. We are instructed to continually offer sacrifice with our words, not just on the designated days (or in our world, not only at church). But that alone is not enough! Think of it, an integral part of our relationship with God has additional instructions... Do good and share.

I am starting to get it. The more I share, the more readily thankfulness is on my tongue. The more good I do, my more sincere my praise becomes to God and to those around me.

No, our faith isn't about the good that we do. The good that we do is our faith in motion. Go out with praise and grateful words. Go out and share your abundance. Go out and do good. It makes your Heavenly Father smile.
