His Word for Today: Book of Deuteronomy 23:17-18

This morning’s verse talks about offering.

What is at the heart of our offerings? Are we being distracted by approval or how others perceive about us rather than what the Word says at the core? We can be a leader like Jesus by following His Spirit, character not by seeing how others treat us. (See Matthew 20:28) We can steward our finances not by what others or the world say we should but what the Holy Spirit leads us to do. (See John 10:27) We can get our thoughts through to the other side in the conversation not by speaking but by listening through asking questions. (See James 1:19) The Lord is not interested on the outside but more on the inside, the heart, our motives. (See Hebrews 4:12)

Today, let us not pretend like everything is good because He is interested in the hearts of our offerings to the Lord, in how we dedicate our lives to Him daily.

May the Lord continue to richly bless you!
