Numbers chapter 28, verses 1 through 3.

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, command the people of Israel, and say to them, my offering,

my food for my food offerings, my pleasing aroma, you shall be careful to offer me at its appointed time.

And you shall say to them, this is the food offering that you shall offer to the Lord.

Two male lambs, a year old without blemish, day by day, as a regular offering.

What a great picture of a day by day, regular offering before God.

Here in the Old Testament, and then we think about our lives,

the new covenant. Obviously, we don't give lives and the new covenant.

Obviously, we don't give offerings in the same way,

give sacrifices in the same way.

But the principles, the heart, the truths, the realities expressed here,

absolutely, and I would say even more so transfer over

into the New Testament in the sense that, well, think Romans 12, one and two, in view of God's

mercy, we offer ourselves as living sacrifice is holy and acceptable to God.

So we don't offer an animal or food in this way.

Like we offer our lives regularly day by day.

Like picture your life this way.

You wake up in the morning.

You are a daily offering before God. Your life all day long,

intended to be lived to God for God, spent by God as a sacrifice, holy and acceptable to him, all day long.

You go to bed at night and the prayer in our lips is, God, I pray that you're pleased with my offering today.
