Seed for May 6

Heb 10:5-75 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.(KJV)

This is one of the most dynamic verses in all the Bible. The whole plan of God is revealed in just 3 verses. You rarely hear it preached, but let me see if I can give meaning to the above verses that make sense. The Lord does not want sacrifice. We often promise the Lord if you will do this or that, then I will offer you this (sacrifice). I will start going to church, I will put the money in the offering, I will stop this or that...etc. We are offering the Lord sacrifices. But as you see above the Lord does not want sacrifices, but He wants some"body" to do His will. We want to do things for God, but He wants someone to offer a body (a living sacrifice) to do His will. Israel wanted to offer a goat, a lamb, a dove, but He wanted a Body. Next time we try to bargain with God over something....if You will do this, then I will do that....Remember He wants a body (yours and mine) to live out His will in the earth. He does not want us to do things, but to present ourselves, our bodies for Him to do His will thru.

Powerful thoughts when they sink in! Be blessed.
