Do you have a list of Favorite things you like to do?
Some of these things might be: Working Out, Skiing, Snow Boarding, Climbing, Cooking ect..
One of the things we all like to do is Hang Out with Friends.
Did you know that God has a list of Favorite things also? On the Top of God's list is Hanging Out with His Buddies.
God Created us because He wants to Hang Out with us. God did not create us as robots programmed to Hang Out with Him.
God created us with a Free Will and out of this Free Will we get to choose whether or not we Hang Out with Him.
GOD LOVES OUR FELLOWSHIP OFFERING!
God Honors this Fellowship so much He
considers part of it as a Sacrificial Offering.
When our Free Will Fellowship Offering is offered as a Sacrifice the High Priest burns it at the alter. When it is burnt it becomes a sweet smelling gift to God.
The LORD said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites: 'Anyone who brings a fellowship offering to the LORD is to bring part of it as their sacrifice to the LORD.' "
LEVITICUS 7:28-29
Wow! Part of our Fellowship and Friendships need to be a Sacrifice to God.
What is this telling us?
Friends, I believe God has many messages here.
One message is LOUD and CLEAR:
God Loves and Cherishes those quiet times with us as well as when we gather with other Friends and Believers to have Fellowship with Him.
The Lord loves it when we talk about Him in our normal conversations with people during the day.
This is a Sweet Smelling Aroma to God!
GOD LOVES OUR FELLOWSHIP OFFERING!
The Bible tells us not to forsake the gathering together with Fellowship. In other words God wants us to gather often to encourage each other and Worship Him. This is Fellowship!
"For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." Matthew 18:20
GOD LOVES OUR FELLOWSHIP OFFERING!
Do you need Direction? Do you need a Path for your life? Do you need Joy and Happiness? Are you seeking Pleasure from things that don't last?
Where do we go to find the Answers?
"You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:1
GOD LOVES OUR FELLOWSHIP OFFERING!
Hang out with the Lord! Fellowship with Friends and God. Choose to have the Lord in your friendships.
CHOOSE LIFE!
Just Go! Leave Nothing Behind!
Rick
