"When someone brings a grain offering to the Lord,
his offering is to be of fine flour."
-- Leviticus 2:1
God instructed Moses to teach the Israelites the proper forms of offerings to make to Him. Here the instructions refer to a grain offering, what might be considered more lowly or less worthy than other sacrifices. But God says this offering should be of fine flour. Flour is made by grinding wheat; the more the wheat is ground, the finer the flour that results. If all one has to offer is grain, it should be worked until it is fine and made as pure as possible.
Even if we have little to offer our Lord, we should work hard at it, making it as pure and fine as we can, giving it our very best effort. This is true in all endeavors, for everything we do will reflect on God and be seen by Him. No matter the cause, no matter the task, no matter the intended result, we should give it our very best.
Dear Father, may we always give you our best, and may our offerings be acceptable in Your sight. Amen.
