Thinking of the American Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow (although I am Canadian), I read and meditated this morning on the following passage in my Bible:
"I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me. I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine. If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats? Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
Psalm 50:8-15 (NIV)
With this in mind, I direct your attention to the article posted here:
Does your God need the sacrifices of bulls, goats, and fowl? Does he hunger for blood? Jesus has already paid the "once for all" blood sacrifice (Hebrews 7:27). I choose to offer a sacrifice of praise and a grateful heart. Which God do you serve? What are you thankful for?
