Lev. 2:3 Holy and Honor

He will not take our sacrifices when there is no respect to him. God said that it is most holy. (Lev. 2:3). When God says something is holy, that means that he is expecting an attitude in us. He said to Moses that the place he stood is holy. Then what? He said that he got to remove his shoes. Angel said to Joshua that the place he was standing is holy. So what? Angel said that he got to remove his shoes. There are many Christians, experienced, knowledged like Moses and Joshua, yet they wait until someone to tell them that they need to have an attitude of humbleness.

You may be good person. When it comes to holy things, the question is how you dealing with it and its not about your good character. Bible tells us to take care of our behavior when we are going to his sanctuary.

"Guard your steps when you go to the house of God..." Ecc. 5:1

God said that he will not accept their sacrifices and offerings because they did not honor him.

"A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? ...neither will I accept an offering at your hand." Mal. 1:6-10)

Tax collector's attitude gave him righteousness better than the experienced, knowledged pharisee. It has been our unrighteousness that closed some doors in heaven. Now the doors that so long were closed got a time to be opened.

Josiah, cried before the Lord and the curses over him were closed. If God closes the doors no one can open and if he opens then no one can close it. 

Luke 21:1-6 What is she that you are mindful of her?

They are rich. They are giving. They are offerings they give. Their richness appears in what they give. A woman came. It seems nothing is in her hand. No bag, no box. Almost sounded empty. She dropped two coins. She also a widow.

"she dropped only two coins?" disciples said to themselves. Jesus said, "she had only two coins". Disciples are watching the same thing that Jesus was watching. They are not watching the same way that Jesus was watching. 

"What is she that our Lord is mindful of her?", disciples thought. They went to Jesus and said, "come Lord. See these valuable stones. How beautiful the temple was built because of the offerings". 

Yes her offering cannot buy a single stone there. Its all because of the big offerings the rich people gave. They know how to buy their credits in the church. 

Jesus said, "yes. Let them build. But it won't stay. The day is coming that each stone will be removed." What is a gift if he did not take it?

Let the disciples mindful of granite, even now. Jesus is mindful of granny. Her husband died but she never chose a way for coins. She brought everything she had. She emptied herself. She emptied and made a way that the Lord would come and fill. She did not use it for a bribe. She love the Lord so she gave ALL that she has. Disciples gave their attention to the temple and she pulled the attention of the Lord of the temple. They said she has nothing but she got every thing that Jesus is mindful of her.
