"I Will Not Offer Sacrifices that Cost Me Nothing"

David sinned against the Lord, and it cost the people dearly. It was not his sin only; it affected many. David was cut to the heart and sought repentance to make things right. Through the leading of an angel of the Lord and a prophet, David was led to a man named Araunah. Through him, he was offered everything he needed to make a sacrifice and offer worship to the Lord. Araunah wants to provide everything: wood, animals, grain, etc.

David could not accept this offer. He knew he had to pay the price for the sacrifice, and it had to cost him something.

What is your faith costing you?
