The offerings were to be “made to the Lord”. They were to be “pleasing
to the Lord.” These recurring phrases emphasize the importance of
keeping the Lord at the centre of all that we do. We are not to argue
about who is the greatest (Mark 9:34).
There is one Name that is above every name. It is the Name of Jesus.
Our sacrifice is to be the sacrifice of joy. Let us, with gladness,
bring our sacrifice of joy to the Lord - “at His tabernacle I will
sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord” (Psalm 27:6).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
