My non-blood, voluntary sacrifice to the LORD is my time—the hours in my day, represented by the embossed numbers which almost disappear in the gray bottom third of this painting. I have the same number of hours as anyone else, but the choices I make in how I spend those hours are crucial to my inward life and worship. Do I spend less time sleeping? Less time being entertained? Less time procrastinating? Less time complaining and being critical?
The sacrifices in the Old Testament were made with fire….they were burned up on the altar leaving ashes and the smoke going upward was a sweet aroma to God. Every day I make choices that affect my life. The hours can never be lived over or changed. I have found those hours to be very precious and I’m more mindful of how I burn them.
God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
