This morning I read Psalm 50:7-15. The verse that really stuck out to me was verse 14:
"Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and perform your vows to the Most High..."
We "sacrifice" everything to God. We give Him our lives, our money and possessions, our relationships. We surrender everything to Him. We think our 100% surrender is enough. But it's not. That is not what God wants most. He wants our praise, our thanks.
God wants to hear our thanks for the life He has given us each new day, for the sunshine and the rain, for our friends and families, for everything. He wants our praise for the frustrating times, for the boss who does not treat us well, for sickness, He wants us to praise Him with thanksgiving for everything. Then can we say we have offered acceptable sacrifice to God.
