When it was time for the harvest, Cain presented some of his crops as a gift to the Lord. Abel also brought a gift, the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift, but he didn’t approve of Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry and was disappointed. Genesis 4:3-5

Will God have reason to reject the gifts we bring? My brothers and sisters in Christ, Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain was a tiller of the soil, but, “It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. Abel’s offering gave evidence that he was a righteous man, and God showed his approval of his gifts. Although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us by his example of faith.” How acceptable are the gifts you and I bring before God? Are we giving God our first fruits or just some of what he has so freely given to us?
