As the offering plate went around at
church on Sunday, I debated in my head if I should quickly reach down and
possibly hold up the offering plate so I could put in my money. I had a vision
of taking out my wallet and dumping all the money I had in the offering plate
in a grand display in front of the little girl sitting next to me to show her
how we should give. But I did nothing but passed the plate along and wondered
why. I talked to my hubbie about it after church. He is an usher now and told
me that there are plenty of people scrambling to get a check written or their
money out before the offering plate gets to them. This made me realize how
totally unprepared I am to come into church to worship. I can’t tell how many
times the offering plate has gone by me without my contribution because of my
lack of forethought. Maybe it is me wanting to keep some control over my cash
flow and maybe it is me trying to justify how I have given in other ways or to
other places. In any case, I am not ready for it and it makes me wonder how
ready am I to worship, truly worship? Holy Spirit, lead me in preparing my
body, soul and spirit to give all I have to the Lord.
John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in
spirit and truth.”
