Leftovers! Are we giving God our leftovers as it relates to our resources, money and time?
Malachi 1:14 in particular really hit me hard. How often in our relationships (marriage, parenthood, etc.) do we make a commitment, only to fall short too quickly? What about in our school work, job, community organizations? Too often, I believe, we commit our best, and we truly desire to give our all; but in the end, sometimes all we can offer is our leftovers. Our leftover time, leftover energy, leftover resources, leftover money.
There are some powerful questions raised by this passage: What kind of offering are you bringing to God? Is it your best? Or is He only getting your leftovers? What are you doing to make God’s name great among the community?
