Day 15

^{Mal 1:8
8} When you bring blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice crippled or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?" says the LORD Almighty.

The priests in Malachi's day thought their sacrifices were sufficient. They had spotless animals but chose to keep those for themselves and give their lest desirable animals to God. They assumed that God was pleased because they had sacrificed something. God wasn't happy. Just as He isn't happy when we offer him our leftovers. Our leftover money, our leftover time and our leftover devotion. Why not make a decision as this fast enters its last day, Jesus I want to give you my best, not my leftovers but my best.
