Does Your Sacrifice Stink?
By Mark Flippo
Romans 12:1-2 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.
Notice that the above scripture states that acceptable unto God. For God to tell this man of God to write it this way means it is possible that some may try to present what they feel is a sacrifice but it will not be accepted by God! Too many want to give what is leftover or what is convenient to God. Those kind of sacrifices stink in His nose. God is letting us know that there are guidelines in what He takes to Himself.
Examine your sacrifice that you are going to present to Him. In this case we do not sacrifice animals but we sacrifice Praise from our hearts. Are you giving Him your all? Abraham was going to sacrifice his son when that was asked of Him. Has He asked more of you than your Praise? Would you give back to Him any Blessing that He has given you? Have an open heart and be ready to surrender any part of your life that He would ask for.
