Give God Your Best

And he shall offer his offering unto the Lord, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a brunt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings (Numbers 6: 14).

Over and over again God told the Israelites to give Him their best. We should do the same. Even our best is less than He deserves. We should tithe first, before we pay any of our other bills, not give to the church out of what we have left over after we take care of our needs. 

Verily, verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it to the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me (Matthew 25:40).

Our best includes how we treat others. Jesus said, what we do to the least of these, we do unto him. Anger, bitterness, complaining, temper,or moodiness has no place in the life of a Christian. How we treat others is how we're treating our Lord. He will help you overcome any problems in character if you ask and let Him work in you.

In like manner also, that women adorn in modest apparel (1 Timothy 2:9a).

We should dress in some of our best clothes to honor Him when we go into His house. If ragged  jeans is our best, that is fine. Our hearts matter more than what we wear. However, we should dress to please God, not to please man. That does mean not dressing provocatively or being too showy. "Christians" represent Christ, and we should be conscious to do this well.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,  which we have of God, and ye are not your own? (1 Corinthians 6:19).
