I dreamed that I was at the grocery store with my dad. It was a pretty new store right next door to my house and it was very nice. I had alot of fun exploring but everything was so expensive. After a couple of hours of shopping, we decided to go check out and go home. At the front of the store were two altars. They were round and when people would put things on them, fire would come from the ceiling and consume it. We were told that they were altars to God and people put their offerings on them. Well, I didn't have enough money to buy anything to sacrifice so we just went home. I walked in the door and noticed that we had some leftover teriyaki chicken so I grabbed a piece and headed back over to the store. I really wanted to see what would happen when I offered something.
As I was crossing the bridge to go back to the store, a thought occurred to me. Was I offering something I bought myself or something convenient? If I didn't buy it myself, was it the best I could find? I came to the conclusion that the answer to both of those questions was a big fat no. I couldn't offer this to God; it wasn't my best.
My dreams rarely have lessons attached to them but this one did. Am I truly giving my best to God?
