Sacrifice It!

Psalm 50:14 NIV "Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High"

Sacrifice thank offerings? Why would the Psalm advise us to sacrifice thank offerings to God?

During the time, this psalm was written to the 12 tribes of Israel, who were divided into two kingdoms and here this psalm of Asaph was written to try to urge them to reunite and come back to God. Its a reminder to start thanking God that he hasn't given up on you but also a reminder to do what we said we would for God.

Giving Poem

Created for Family & Friends Poetry Night to pick up offering:

Giving is something that God asks us to do

but when it comes time for it we all have our own view

Whether its wrong or right

whose to tell that it just might

Might be the cause for something great

but never experienced because the bucket has passed & its too late

We missed our opportunity to obey the Word of God

and now just like the wind our money is gone.

Gone on leisure, pleasure, and entertainment

never once honoring the One over all Creation

We say show me in the bible where it says to tithe

Yet it cries "will a man rob God" in the book of Malachi

"Rob you? how?" "in tithe and offerings"

"but I thought it was my choice on what exactly I can bring."

Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy all tell about the tenth

Still we excuse it saying that was meant for them.

Jesus himself said in the book of Matthew "Give as freely as you have received"

Receiving is fine we all don't mind but to give now we forget about Him

So don't miss your blessing on what God wants to do

Release your tithe & offering shout I need an envelope too!

Because giving is something that God asks us to do

but when it comes time for it we all have our own view.
