Such Sacrifices

The Treasure

Thirty days ago this book began with seek ye first, the initial priority everything else has built on. It closes here, with such sacrifices, naming doing good and communicating, active generosity, as genuine sacrifice, offered to God, with which he is specifically, actually well pleased, not merely tolerated as a minor spiritual add-on.

Notice forget not, an active warning, suggesting this kind of ongoing generosity is easily neglected without deliberate, continued attention, the same danger this whole book has walked through across its three movements, priorities quietly reordering, generosity quietly cooling, stewardship quietly forgotten amid ordinary, competing daily demands.

Look back over these thirty days, seek first, sow first, give first, and notice they were never really three separate stages, but one continuous posture, the same reordered heart, first toward the kingdom, then actively sowing, then genuinely surrendering ownership itself, all of it building toward this closing instruction, such sacrifices, with which God is well pleased.

You began this book learning to seek the kingdom first. You end it here, with the promise that whatever you have genuinely sacrificed across these thirty days, and across however many years this stewardship journey continues, is received by God himself as such sacrifices, genuinely, actually pleasing to him, not merely dutiful obligation quietly endured.
