OFFERING OF FAITH

Do we realize that our offering to God has something to do with faith? And it is not just a faith faith, we are talking about the right faith.

When Cain and Abel learned from their parents, Adam and Eve, about giving an offering to God, I believe that both of them did try to give the best from whatever they have; Cain with his agricultural products, and Abel from his cattle. Unfortunately, Cain didn't understand that God loves to receive living sacrifice which was only given by Abel. And unfortunately again, Cain didn't realize his lack or try to understand God's will. In contrary, he became jealous and angry to Abel, and finally killed him. Here we read that Abel's blood cried out to God because of his faith.

Don't you think our God is the God of appreciation? I believe so. I believe that no matter how small our offering to Him, He will appreciate it. I also believe that God was actually happy when he saw Cain came before him with the best offering he could give from his land. But, God also wants us to know the right one.

When the best meets the right, this is a faith before God.

Dear Father in heaven, thank you for giving me another chance to give to You. I want to learn about giving with faith, giving the best and the right offering. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
