Ps. 50:14a
OFFER TO GOD [willingly give up]
the SACRIFICE [give up that which involves a considerable amount of effort, work, or determination]
of THANKSGIVING. [as a result of having received goodness]

Pray the Word:
Pray the Word:
Lord, in the times we’ve found ourselves up against a wall and we’ve prayed, ‘Lord, what do You want from me?!#?!? ___ More hymn singing? More prayer? More attendance at church? More reading my Bible? More putting a fake smile on my face pretending that my troubles don’t bother me?’ . . . and, then, You remind us again that the SACRIFICE OF A THANKFUL HEART IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES is what You want – So, even though there are aspects of it that we can’t possibly enjoy; much less understand . . we willingly give up to You our SACRIFICE OF THANKSGIVING for the goodness we’ve received in our trials that has opened up to us our shortcomings, has led us to a deeper relationship with You and has given meaning to the eternal purpose of it all.
