Day 1 Who do you want to please? . . . your spouse, mother, father, sister, brother, best friend, neighbors, employer or most anybody you meet? Truthfully, there is only one person we ever need to be concerned about pleasing because if He’s happy and well- pleased, we’ll find contentment in life. The scriptures offer some very basic guidelines about how to give an offering that is well-pleasing to God. Philippians 4:18 says: “But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.” The offering that is well-pleasing to God is the one He tells us to give. Whether what we give is big or small in our own eyes, the important thing to remember is to listen to the voice of the Lord and obey Him in the offering. Far too many believers are tipping God because they think that’s what they can afford to sow or are in the habit of giving. But we should ask God. Only He knows what you need to reap down the road. If God is not involved in our giving. . .it’s not well-pleasing to Him. . .He won’t accept it. The church or ministry might accept our offering, but God won’t. Malachi 1:10 in the Classic Amplified Bible says: “Oh, that there were even one among you [whose duty it is to minister to Me] who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on My altar to no purpose [an empty, futile, fruitless pretense]! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of hosts, nor will I accept an offering from your hand.” Check out the rest of todays Connect 20 at connectionpoint.info/monday #247daily
