The Lord Is Looking For PSALM Who Honor Him...
Psalm 50 is a psalm that shows us that God does not need our gifts. Some people think that by doing more good deeds, they can bargain with God what they want and what they want God to do. Well, God wants to let His people know today that He is not a manipulative God.
Ultimately, when the people of the past sacrifice thank offerings to God, it is really a way of showing that they honor the Lord. The Lord really has no need of any sacrifices or burnt offerings. For the Lord is rich beyond our imagination as seen from His response in v9-13. The world and all that is in it is His…
There really isn’t anything much that we can bring before the Lord except our thanksgivings, worship and praises. It’s all about honoring Him. What matters most to Him is the attitude that we take towards Him. God does not see the physical self but rather the heart of a worshipper. As said in 1 Samuel16:7b, 'The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.'
Indeed God will judge and see the intentions of our hearts. Let he who bring God a sacrifice of praise prepare the way of the Lord so that He may show him the salvation of God.
BLESSED AT,
