Leviticus 3:1, 6
“If his offering is a sacrifice of peace
offering, if he offers an animal from the herd, male or female, he shall offer
it without blemish before the Lord… 6 “If his offering for a sacrifice of peace
offering to the Lord is an animal from the flock, male or female, he shall
offer it without blemish.
Sacrifices must be the first and best or
else it isn't the kind of sacrifice God requires. You can sacrifice lesser
things, but you cannot make much of God by giving lesser things. He will not
accept leftovers. Sacrifices must be without blemish because they are being
offered to a holy, unblemished God. As much as He is dissatisfied with wonky
offerings, so should we be dissatisfied with our devotion if the best we can
come up with is the change in our pockets. Giving your first and your best
requires prioritization. No one accidentally gives the first and best. It takes
effort, energy and devotion. God deserves your worship. He is owed the position
of top priority.
