What to Me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
23022
Isaiah 1:11,12 The Context: God is describing the rebellious character of His people. They are offering sacrifices in an appeal for God’s blessings but they disobey Him in many other ways. They participate in the worship of idols and expect God to bless them simply because they go through the motions of offerings and sacrifices.
God Asks Us: “What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats. 12 “When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts?
JNE: In what ways have I fallen for the trap of thinking I can do religious things in order to get God’s blessings? Why go to church? Why give money to a church? Why be baptized? Why not swear? Are there things in my life that while I am doing something that outwardly appears religious, inwardly I am trampling on God’s heart?
