When I bring just myself to the altar, when I say, “Here I
am, Lord”, God will cause me to flourish, sometimes physically, always
spiritually. He will cause me to flourish in His church (Psalm 92:13,14) but His
altar, His church is not just where I sit on Sundays. It is everywhere I walk.
And He will cause me, and those that follow Him, to prosper. What can I
possibly do to give the Lord His due? He saved me, He took me from sin and
blessed me over and over. His love never ends. There is nothing I wouldn’t
bring to Him, all is due Him. Yes, all He wants is me and my heart. (Psalm
116:12-14,17) While I may stumble God allows me into His righteousness. There
is nothing I can do to give Him His due, except to praise Him. I will gladly do
that and I will gladly worship Him in that manner. (Psalm 122:1) I go before the altar with everything I have
–I will dispose of things that keep me from Him and enjoy the love and mercy He
shows me when I worship from my heart. (Psalm 138:12). Praising Him is always a
priority, part of the very fiber of worship and of the very being and soul of
me because He is God. And I will sing and enjoy Him and obey Him without
working to earn His love but I will bask in Him listening to what makes Him
pleased and smiling rather than what makes me feel good. (Ecclesiastes 5:1,2)
