Exodus 13-15
think about it...
God commanded the Isrealites to dedicate the firstborn of everything to him. Why do you think the first born was important?
if you dedicate the firstborn, is there any assurance you will have "another one"?
is there any assurance the next one will be "just as good"?
what did God ask abraham to do?
what part of our lives does God ask us to dedicate to Him?
what does L1 and L2 say about what parts we should dedicate to God?
if there was a national search going on for a teen or adult whose life is "dedicated to God" (it's been set aside for God and His purposes)... you YOU be chosen? would you even be asked for an interview?
have you ever written a song thanking God for your life, your blessings, His deliverance?
have you recorded anywhere, written or otherwise, what God has done in your life?

It shows that we have to give God our first in everything and put him before all else. L1 and L2 show us that we do not have to put him first, because if we try to prioritize like that, we will probably fail. But I think that if we build a strong relationship with him and live putting that first, we won't even think about putting anything else above our Saviour.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to make God your number one. Butsome people don't make God their number one because they want a sence of control in their life. But it's best to just surrender to God and let him take the wheel in your life.
ReplyDeletei totally agree with Nathan on that one. But also want to say that to give your lives to him you will have to give things up for it,and that is NOT easy...but nessisary
ReplyDeleteL1 and L2 say we should give God everything and love him with all we have they gave their first son to God to show their love for him
ReplyDeleteI like what katelyn said about giving things up. Not out of a sense of duty, but as a way of expressing our L1. The israelites made all sorts of sacrifices and I think we sometimes think that it was only out of a sense of duty. While I think there is some sense of duty, but each sacrifice also seems to be put in place to draw people back into relationship with their God.
ReplyDeleteI too think that we need to give God our entire self. We dont need to give him our church self, half of us, or the specific part. It is all or nothing.
