The nature of our offerings to God reveals the state of our hearts. Cain's anger and refusal to repent after his offering was rejected showed a rebellious heart, whereas Abel's offering demonstrated humility and obedience. This underscores the importance of approaching God with the right spirit. Our offerings, whether they are acts of service, financial gifts, or time spent in prayer, should reflect a heart that is humble, obedient, and fully surrendered to God.
"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7, ESV)
Reflection: Examine your recent offerings to God. Do they reflect a heart of humility and obedience? What changes can you make to ensure your offerings are pleasing to God and reveal a right spirit?
