14. Offer unto God thanksgiving. No
longer look at your sacrifices as in themselves gifts pleasing to me, but
present them as the tributes of your gratitude; it is then that I will accept
them, but not while your souls have no love and no thankfulness to offer me.
Israel was blamed for lack of thankful adoration before the Lord. Too many in
these days are in the same condemnation. And pay thy vows unto the most High. Let the sacrifice be really presented to the God who sees the heart,
pay to him the love you promised, the service you covenanted to render, the
loyalty of heart you have vowed to maintain. Oh for grace to do this! Oh that
we may be graciously enabled to love God, and live up to our profession! To be,
indeed, the servants of the Lord, the lovers of Jesus, this is our main concern.
