Ep. 723 - What God Desires

MINISTRY MOMENT

God does not want our physical sacrifices as much as He wants our hearts. The sacrifices God wants are specifically, a thankful spirit, and willingness to obey what He calls us to do. My prayer is that we, as the people of God, would make our lives pleasing to Him by being thankful in all that He has given us, and obeying everything that He has commanded. When we walk out our faith with this type of intentionality, I believe we honor our Father in heaven and offer sacrifices that are truly pleasing to Him.

PRAYER POINT

“Father, everything is Yours! The cattle on a thousand hills and my whole life belong to You. Teach me to bring You the sacrifice You desire: a thankful heart and an obedient spirit. Help me keep the vows I’ve made, and follow through on Your Word daily. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
