Theme Introduction

Below are the two verses from the Bible (ESV) that inspired me, if you will, to start this blog in efforts to fight for dedication throughout our lives as a pleasing offering to God.

"When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not
evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is

that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he

accept you or show you favor? says the LORD* of hosts.

And now entreat the favor of God, that he may be

gracious to us. With such a gift from your hand, will he

show favor to any of you? says the LORD or hosts."

Malachi 1:8-9

*LORD refers to the name of God as opposed to the title.

Through these verses I was reminded of the short time we have on earth. What are the stats? Wagering you live a relatively "normal" life, you will live up to seventy-five, maybe even eighty.
Now in all your years of life, how many times have you failed in doing something as simple as going to bed on time? How much more then, in bigger issues, have you failed to "do the right thing"? I know I am a culprit of these failures. That is why I want to start this blog as a way to explore the truths of dedication.

I want to be dedicated in following after God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength. I want to entreat the favor of God, so that he may be gracious.

Who's with me?
