Leviticus 7: 37  These are the instructions for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, as well as the ordination offering and the peace offering. 38 The Lord gave these instructions to Moses on Mount Sinai when he commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.

I was thinking about all the offerings and sacrifices that the people of Israel gave to God... now realistically.. they didn't do this every day.. usually they only went to the temple once a year.. unless they lived in Jerusalem... and I know that Jesus had paid the price for us.. thankfully.. we don't have to sacrifice animals anymore... 

but do we sacrifice anything for God? surely there are still some things we should be sacrificing to show God how thankful we are for His love and mercy and gift of His Son.... surely we should be sacrificing something to show Him we honestly repent when we sin against Him... 

now our sacrifice may be in the form of a fast... it may be in the form of time given in service.. time given in worshipping Him... maybe even tears of remorse for our wrongs... 

I think as the people of God we almost act as if we are owed God's goodness... as if we owe Him nothing and He is lucky to have us... how sad that we do not reverence Him and give Him all the honor that He is due...
