Fish and promises

Promises are like a fish. A bird catcher waits with patience until a bird falls into his trap. The same with the hunter in the forest. They see their prey's movements and all the process. But a guy who throws a hook into the water and waits for a fish, how can he wait? He only knows when the fish is caught. He doesn't know where the fish is and where its moving. He just got to wait.

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. 

1 Sam. 26 Battle belongs to the Lord

Ziphites came to inform Saul that David is hiding there in Hachila. They can just bind David and bring him to Saul. They didn't do it because they knew that David is a great warrior. Yet why did they inform about him? Do they have any enmity with him? No they didn't. Still they want to inform Saul because they want the favor of the ruler. "Many seeks the ruler's favor". Pro. 29:26.

I am happy that Solomon used the word "many" and not "All". By using the word "many" he is also saying that there are other "many" who do not seek the ruler's favor. In these two categories, Ziphites, by seeking ruler's favor they fall into the danger of joining the group of those who seek the ruler's favor and they did not see that David is in other group who seeks the favor of the Lord. Their innocent step brought them a curse from David, a man of God. He said to Saul, " ...if men have instigated this, may they be cursed before the LORD"-1 Sam. 26:19. 

Soon after he heard where David is, Saul took 3000 men with him to seize David who had not even a thousand people with him. (1 Sam. 27:2). Saul doesn't know that God will never save by the number. He did not have the knowledge that his own son Jonathan had. Once Jonathan said to his armer-bearer "“Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men... Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.” 1Sam. 14:6. 

Amaziah also hired a 100,000 fighters from Israel. Then a man of God came and see what he has said. "...these troops from Israel must not march with you, for the Lord is not with Israel... Even if you go and fight courageously in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to overthrow.” 1Chr. 25:6-8. 

I am in the category of those who seek the favor of the Lord to whom, the battle belongs to. I hope you too. ("but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. " Pr. 29:25)

Lev. 1:9 Ascending in offering

When you worship, its all about God and not people. Same way when you give a sacrifice, heaven takes it as its all about you and not the victim. Its actually you that supposed to be burn on the altar. No sheep, goat or a cow has born to die. Its only because of you its throat is cut and the whole body is cut into pieces and burnt.

Actual sacrifice that God pleases in, is obedience. This is what we learn from Samuel the prophet. "To obey is better than sacrifice". 1 Sam. 15:22. Hebrew word for the burnt offering is olah. Literally Olah doesnt mean burnt offerings. Its actual sense is "ascending". 

There was a man who said to Jesus that he obeys all commandments from childhood. Mk.10.20. Yes, that pleases God better than any sacrifice. Yet Jesus found that he has been obeying without a sacrificial heart. This man did not understood the element of ascending in sacrifice. He got to sell his riches and give to the poor. Then what? Then what happens is that he will get riches in heaven. His sacrifice will ascend to heaven. Its like water evaporates to sky and takes the same form again. Whatever the riches you give to the poor will ascend to heaven and takes the same form again. You will get the riches in heaven.

Burning a sacrifice on the altar without understanding what is ascending to heaven, doesn't yield fruit.  Though we talked about this rich man here, the word in Lk. 6:38 "Give and it shall be given unto you." is actually spoken to the poor people. Compare this verse with the verse 20 in the same chapter which says, "Blessed are you who are poor..." When he was saying "give.." he was talking to the poor people there.
