Pleasing to Him

    Is there something you want to do that you know you should not?  Is it fantasizing over a hot
looking girl or guy?  Have you been having a little fun with letting lustful thoughts of them stay in your
mind?  Are you finding it difficult to give something or someone up for the sake of honoring God and the better intentions and direction He has for your life?  Is there a way to live better according to God’s word that will not be easy for you as far as the discipline required on your part?
     Whatever it is you find challenging at this point, know that whatever you are not wanting to do, but do… or whatever you find hard to be without, but carry on forward without it, you can offer the challenge, the pain or the discomfort up as a sacrifice and offering to God.  


     Numbers 28:1-3 NIV says: 
“The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Give this command to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Make sure that you present to me at the appointed time my food offerings, as an aroma pleasing to me.’ 3 Say to them: ‘This is the food offering you are to present to the Lord: two lambs a year old without defect, as a regular burnt offering each day”.

     Let’s pull this apart and look inside at it.
  

     Verse 2:  “See that you present to me at the appointed time the food for my offerings made by fire,
as an aroma pleasing to me.”  So you’ve got something "ungood" I’ll call it going on. it's a struggle inside of you.  If you give it and consider God’s feelings above your own (that’s the sacrifice and offering part) God is going to take it as something good…”an aroma pleasing to me”.

    Verse 2:  “an offering made by fire”…Are you going through the fire right now?  The situation is hot and trying you?  If you are responding right to the fire, or right to the conviction you are in (by God’s ways), you are being purified.  You are being made more into His image and going more to where He wants to take you.


    Verse 3:  “as a regular burnt offering each day”…Each day you give it all to the Lord as an offering…”Lord, this is (whatever you feel), but I’m offering up my plans and taking on yours instead. 
May you find me and my offering pleasing to you like a fine aroma.”  

    God will find this pleasing.  It smells good to Him.  It refreshes Him you may say.  And whenever you do something toward God, He rewards you.
