"For What it's Worth"

At 8 we have chapel and im speaking for like 3-5 Minutes (ish). The theme of tonight is giving God your best. As I sit here 42 minutes before this thing starts I have like so many different things going through my head. From people, to expierences, to bible stories of what giving God your best looks like. The Lord is relentless. I think of Daniel in the lion's trusting God giving his best which wasn't perfection (something none of us have to offer up) but rather faithfulness. David against Goliath offered up courage, King Solomon used the wisdom God granted him, and John the Baptist offered up his life and his head (Literally). wow. Sidewalk Prophets wrote a song called, "For What it's worth"...

I'm just a glimpse of the hope you see in me
Hold my heart in your hands
Jesus, help me understand I can only give my life
for what it’s worth

For what it’s worth I am standing here amazed
By the wonders that your mighty hands have made
I don’t deserve to be covered by Your grace
So with every breath the least that I can say
I will run and not grow weary, I will walk and not be faint
I can’t sing loud enough I could never earn your love
I’m just a glimpse of the hope You see in me

Giving your best is giving all you have to the king for what its worth. We can't earn it. but our king is relentless and he wants our best because he wants us completly for him. I don't feel worthy enough to even talk about the greatness and the full majesty of our mysterious and gracious creator but for what its worth I will try my best for God.
