WHAT DOES YOUR SACRIFICE COST?

“Offer to God thanksgiving—then pay your vows to the Most High.”

If you claim (or assume) that you follow Jesus, do you have any vows to God—any sacrifices that cost you?

If you claim to follow Jesus—who knows that, and sees that, among your friends, relatives, and co-workers?

King David offered a sacrifice to God (a literal one), and refused to let the materials for the sacrifice be donated, however willingly.

He said, “I will not offer anything to God that costs me nothing.”

The question for us now, “Will I follow Jesus in a way that costs me and contrasts everything around me—and prepare to pay the price? And will I study my Bible every day to find out how?”

The hazards of comfortable that I have referred to before, are now upon us.
