What do we offer to the Lord? Some people make the point that there is nothing we can offer God. There is no worth we bring to the relationship. There’s nothing we can give that God lacks. There is some truth to this idea. But we should be wary. Some take this idea to the extreme that there’s nothing we should or can do aside from believing in God and being thankful He saved us. But listen to Deuteronomy 16:16: “Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God at the place that he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Booths. They shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed.”
We are entirely indebted to God and His gracious love. But God has always expected His faithful people to serve Him diligently. If you were to meet the Lord today, would you appear before him empty-handed?
