Psalms 76:11
Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Sat, Apr. 16, GIFTS (Ps. 76:11). God created human. Human was made according to his image. It means that we have the same feeling like him. If we are happy to receive gifts, God is the same. God likes to receive gifts.
1. Gifts of praise (v 10).
God likes to be praised. He is worthy to be praised. All praises ate directed to him. He is not lack of or seeking praises. He has all the glory already. Our praises add nothing to him. But our praises are good and pleasing him.
2. Gifts of sacrifice (v 11).
God likes to smell fragrance of the sacrifice. When we offer him sacrifice of animals, he is happy. Sacrifice of all kinds make him happy. Sacrifice of the produce of the fields, trees or farms. Sacrifice of the hand made. Sacrifice of the house or factory made.
3. Gifts of hearts (v 12).
And above all, God likes to receive the gifts of hearts. God likes to receive our homage, revere and love. God likes if we love and obey him. More than all the sacrifice, God wants the expression of our love. Words, speech and sacrifice are good, but meaningless if our actions and life break his laws. So, let’s bring gifts to him. ASH.
