God has given us his very best. Jesus, His only begotten Son was given for our salvation, freedom, hope, joy, and eternal life. How can we give anything but our best to God? Not as a payment but out of total love and appreciation! One thinks, of course. But how many of us are giving God from our first fruits and only the best? The priest in Malachi’s day were giving God the leftovers. They had no use for blind, Lane, or sick animals, so they give them to God on the altar. God tells them that He would rather that they close the doors of the temple then have them offer these cheap sacrifices to Him.
