Forty Day Weak Offering

.
Day 8 . . . Psalms 24
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
.
This . . .
I want to know God.
I desire to ascend the hill of the Lord and stand in His holy place.
Create in me a clean heart, oh God. I desire to be pure as you are pure.
Give me clean hands and a pure heart.
.
That . . .
Forty days for forty years.
This is NOT a forty day PAYMENT for forty years of bad behavior.
The forty days is a very weak offering to God requesting that a very great debt be forgiven.
God knows if we have been naughty or nice and he has a great memory. He also never just let's things go, he demands justice.
We have only one choice. To cry out for mercy and forgiveness and to be so thankful for the blood of Jesus.
.
This is that . . .

Jason Upton Lyrics - "No Sacrifice" from his "Faith" CD

To you I give my life, not just the parts I want to
To you I sacrifice these dreams that I hold on to

Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice . . . Here's my life

To you I give the gifts - Your love has given me
How can I hoard the treasures that you've designed for free?
To you I give my future - As long as it may last
To you I give my present - To you I give my past

This is no sacrifice . . . Here's my life
.
