If We Go, What Shall We Bring the Man?

1 Samuel 9:7(NKJV)

7Then Saul said to his servant, “But look, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread in our vessels is all gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?”

Way back in the day you didn't go to inquire of God without bringing a present, an offering.  It was common courtesy.  You were coming to ask a favor of God so shouldn't you offer something of value as well? 

Many people today are afraid to approach and inquire of God because they feel that they have nothing of value to offer.  They've led a sinful life.  God couldn't possibly want to have anything to do with them, etc.  Many of us know what that is like.  We've been there.

Well here is the cool thing.  Do you want to know what the single best gift or offering you can give God is?  YOU!  That's right.  The single best gift you can offer God is your life.  God is the supreme judge of value and He values you!

So if you've been reading this blog for a while you know that I talk a lot about accepting Jesus.  Have you done that yet? 

For those that haven't, is it a sense of guilt or lack of worth that stops you?  Is it that "what would God want with me thing" that is stopping you?  Let me ask you this.  When you see that question, is there an internal battle that you can feel?  Is there a little voice deep inside telling you to do it?  And is there another voice in there telling you all the reasons why you shouldn't?  

Please understand that that is God fighting for your soul.  He values you that much that He will keep fighting for you until you make a decision.  Why not make that decision today.  If God thinks that highly of you, why not present yourself as that gift to Him? 

It's easy to do.  You start by asking Jesus, God's son, to come into your life and lead you.  Just start a simple conversation with Jesus.  "Dear Jesus…."
