Reading: Genesis 4:3-7; Hebrews 11:4

Devotional: God doesn't just see what we bring—He sees why we bring it. Abel offered his best with a heart of faith, while Cain brought what was convenient with a heart of obligation. The difference wasn't in the gift but in the giver. God's rejection of Cain's offering wasn't favoritism; it was truth. He desires worship that flows from genuine devotion, not religious routine.

Today, examine what you're presenting to God—your time, talents, worship, service. Are you giving Him your best or your leftovers? Is your heart fully engaged or just going through motions? God accepts offerings that reflect hearts fully surrendered to Him. Don't worship your way; worship His way, with authenticity and wholehearted devotion.

Reflection: What does my offering to God reveal about the condition of my heart?
