Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - Give Him Your Best

Give Him Your Best
Today's Devotional Reading: James 1-5
December 15, 2010

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE


"And on going into the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then opening their treasure bags, they presented to Him gifts--gold and frankincense and myrrh" (Matthew 2:11 AMP).


TODAY'S WORD
 
, can you imagine what it must have been like for the Wise Men when they saw Jesus? Here He was just a child in a stable surrounded by animals, but these Wise Men recognized that He was the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords; the Savior of the world. Immediately, they fell on their faces to worship Him; but notice what they did next-they presented Him gifts as part of their worship. And they didn't just give any old thing they had; they gave Him their absolute best-costly gold, frankincense and myrrh.


When we give Jesus our absolute best; our time, our talent, our resources, it is an act of worship. We are saying with our actions, "God, You mean more to me than anything. Because You are so awesome, I want to give You everything that I am." It pleases Him when we come to Him with an open and humble heart. When we draw near to Him, He draws near to us. When you give Him your best, He gives you His best in return.


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

Father in heaven, I humbly come to You, giving You all that I am. I honor You as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I bless You today for You alone are worthy of my absolute best. I love You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

We sure love you!
