Extravagant

7/07/09
I never paid attention to this verse from II Sam. 6:13 before, "When thoe who bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and fatling." Did you get it? Every six steps, David offered to God an extravagant sacrifice. My commentaries say that the journey from where the ark was previously to its new site in Jerusalem was about 8 miles. Every six steps, another lavish offering....that's a lot of bull!
I wonder how we worship....how we honor God. How extravagant are our offerings? Not just money, but time, song, praise, prayer, thanksgiving, service? Today as you go about your Christian walk, pause and offer God extravagant worship.

Love,
Pastor Lynn
