Best of Me

Best of Me

Numbers 18:29 – Out of all the gifts to you, you shall present every contribution due to the Lord; from each its best part is to be dedicated.

In this verse, God is asking Aaron to present everything that he gets back from the Israelites to present to him the best of everything. The livestock, the money, the firstborn male child and so on. God is asking for the best because that’s what he rightfully deserves! This really made me stop and think. Am I really giving all of my best to the Lord?


This is a really challenging verse.  Am I really giving my best to the Lord? Is the way I am spending my spare time pleasing to the Lord? Are my thoughts pleasing to the Lord? Is what I am receiving being given back to the Lord in 10 fold?  Is my actions and thoughts being dedicated back to the Lord as something pure and best? I have asked myself all of these things. Along with another questions that I presented in this chapter. Is the Lord enough for me. If he took everything away, would I be satisfied with just him by my side. I want to say yes, of course! But my flesh is week. My pray is that my life would be a holy sacrifice unto Him and that I can dedicated every moment as something that He can look upon and be proud of.  I want to serve him with my best foot forward and I want to do it well.

Application:

I'm going to spend 30 minutes in prayer this week

Blessed Deuteronomy 3:21 – “…Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done…” I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to serve in Costa Rica for these past 6 months.   God has shown me so many things that I will never forget. He has revealed to me the truth about myself that I have an attitude of complaining, pridefulness and laziness, all which needed to be strip away. He has displayed to me his promises of faithfulness, provision, fulfillment, renewal, and boldness. He has also allowed me to look through his eyes and experience his love that he has for all his children. Honestly, I don’t ever think that I would have experience that kind of love anywhere else. I can’t even explain it, it’s like complete joy and fulfillment. I don’t know, it’s crazy. That is something that I am going to bring back home with me, I am passionate about kids and loving on them the way the Lord loves me. This season was amazing but, what I have to remember is, that just beca...

Faith Hebrews 11:6 – it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that He rewarder those who sincerely seek him.               Reading over Hebrews 11, and its main focus point is on the topic, “Faith.” When you just stop and think it’s clearly stated. You cannot please God without faith. Like, how can I please you, Father, if I don’t have faith in who you are as my maker? All these people in Hebrews are being led by faith. They literally are relying on God’s promise alone and having no idea what’s coming around the corner. They were obedient to the calling of Christ. It pleases God that we are faithful to His calling in our lives. I like think that our obedience is a sweet fragrance unto Him in the heavens. Pleasing the Lord is what I was put on this world to do. I was created to spread the love of Christ to whoever would receive it. This verse makes a go...

Perseverance 1 Luke 8:11-15 – This is the meaning of the parable; the seed is God’s word. The Seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away for their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved. The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face and temptation. The seeds that fall among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and so they never grow into maturity. And the seeds that fell on the good soil represents honest, good hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest. This whole passage basically is the observations. It’s talking about 4 different kinds of people and what happens after they hear the word of God. The f...
