Have you ever been bored to tears at church? You just can’t focus on the tediously long sermon. Three fourths of the way through the prayer, you realize you have no idea what the man has said. You think about lunch, the weather, purple polka dots, bicycles, rocks…
“How weary this this…” the Israelites complained. Worship just wasn’t what they had hoped. But that wasn’t God’s fault.
They had brought the lame for their sacrifice. They had neglected the contributions. A valuable lesson is illustrated in Malachi:
You will only get out as much as you put in to worship.
Come to worship with reverence. Get excited about the presence of God. Bring your best offering to the Lord and you will never be bored.
Reading: Malachi 1-4
