Giving God Leftovers

Imagine you tell your spouse, “We are going on a date.” You get them all pumped and tell them this will be awesome. You both dress up, your spouse is like, “Where are we going?” “It will be awesome, just wait.” you say. Your spouse gets more excited and thinks of a candle lit dinner, if you’re my wife a juicy prime rib.

But you pull into McDonalds and say, “Okay, here is the thing, you can’t order a value meal, only off the dollar menu.” Can you imagine the disappointment on your spouse’s face? They ask you, “Why are we here?” Your response is, “Well earlier, I went to Outback and had a huge NY steak and then I saw these jeans, I had to have them, oh yeah, I needed to buy this video game, and I forgot I needed, you know, that new cell phone.”

None of us would really do this, and if you did then you deserve to eat alone. But don’t we do that to God? Cain sure did. We basically give God our leftovers from our bills and entertainment money. We give it to God and we say, “You know, You should be happy with that.”

How do you think God feels?

Be blessed,
