Mal 1:6 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
Mal 1:7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.
Mal 1:8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
I am afraid that we like the Jews have spent to long thinking of ourselves and working on what we want that we have forgotten that He is our father. He is our master. What are we putting on His altar.
Have I been going to him seeking what I wanted as though I was the master. Have I been trying to get him to bless what I am doing for the good of my ministry. I am sorry for thinking of using God for my purposes instead of being used for His purposes regardless of what that means.
I will no longer give God that which costs me nothing nor will I try to get Him to build my church rather I will give myself for him to get glory through me anyway that He wants. I will rejoice in the Lord.
