“When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he accept you or show you favor? says the Lord of hosts.”
‭‭Malachi‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬ http://bible.com/59/mal.1.8.esv

The priests of Malachi’s day we’re offering lame, sick, and blind animals for sacrifices to God, when God had been very clear that the animals for sacrifice were to be spotless, blameless, the best of the flock. Do we do the same as the priests?

Are we giving our God our leftovers instead of our best? With the busyness of life, are we giving the leftovers of our time, our talents, our money, our service, our hearts? Do we make time for God AFTER everything and everyone else or do we put Him first? Do we serve only because there is a need or do we serve out of an overflow of our love for our Lord? As we challenge each other in workouts, YHC challenged the PAX in our walk with Christ. Just as in workouts where we should give it all we have, we should give our all, to the point of exhaustion (arms shaking type exhaustion) in our commitment to Christ and “the Great Commission.”

COT
Challenge continued from start of workout about giving our Holy God our leftovers instead of our all. A further challenge was issued as YHC drew a circle around himself and stated that if revival was to start for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, let it begin within this circle. The PAX was then challenged to move from the traditional COT to a larger circle drawn on the ground a few feet away, IF they would commit to serve our God their best, to the best of their ability they would not give Him leftovers. All the PAX joined YHC in the circle, Circle of Change (COC).
Prayer requests and announcements were shared and we lifted our hearts and our requests to our Great God.
What an honor to Q today for a workout, but more importantly to speak of the truth and the love our Lord.
