Searching for the right gift


Numbers 6-8
This passage is grunt work.  There’s enough of Numbers to tempt us to turn back, but what can we learn?  What are these chapters really about?  Giving to God and they gave plenty!  What do we give?  What gift can we give to God who owns the universe?   Our talents? If you sculpt, sculpt!  Our praise?  If you’re breathing that’s a good reason!  And while we’re out here meddling, how about our money?  Give it to Him, 10% of all you make and then more for the poor and needy.  These chapters are all about giving to God but the best gift was mentioned first in chapter 6.  The best gift is You!  Trust me, I don’t understand the mystery of this, but the truth is truly the truth.  What does God want, what gift brings Him the greatest pleasure?  You!  Not hard to find that perfect gift for God, it's just a Hard gift to give, isn’t it?
