Today’s offering: Our Conference
In 2 Samuel 24, David desired to build an altar to the Lord in an effort to petition the Lord to stop the plagues on the nation of Israel. When he arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, Araunah graciously offered to give King David everything he needed.
But David insisted on paying for everything, making this statement, “I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So he purchased the threshing floor and presented his offering to the Lord and the Lord responded favorably.
What offering can we bring today that will truly represent a sacrifice worthy of our God? Today, with the Lord’s blessing, our sacrificial offerings will support the work and initiatives of our local Conference.
Let’s pray, “Lord, today we present to you tithes and offerings that we have prepared from our hearts. We, like David, will not bring to You anything that costs us nothing. We give You ourselves, our time, energy and these gifts. Bless them according to Your will. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.”
