There are many ways that we can please God. One way is to give our time to help others. Recently, I was able to spend some time helping a family in our church move. I know they were blessed to have their whole house moved in a day. I was also able to use my truck for a couple of trips and felt blessed to give my time. On the surface it seems like so little. However, these are the sacrifices (of our time) that please God. To do good and help those that have a need.
Hebrews 13:16 NLT
“And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.”
In the amplified version below it is explained a little better.
HEBREWS 13:16 AMP
“Do not neglect to do good, to contribute [to the needy of the church as an expression of fellowship], for such sacrifices are always pleasing to God.”
So the next time you hear from someone that there is a need just know that not only does it help that person or family, you get blessed also, and it pleases God.
Another way we can please God is the sacrifice of praise. God doesn’t need anything, He doesn’t need gifts or money. So, we offer the sacrifice of praise from our heart. It really doesn’t cost us anything.
I am thankful every day, that I get to enjoy the things of this life. I’m approaching two years (on April 13th) since my ruptured brain aneurysm, so it’s easy for me to offer a sacrifice of praise.
Hebrews 13:15 NKJV
“Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.”
