Psalm 54:6 - Do I have to give?

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
     I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good.

When this was written, David was under the Jewish law. There were very specific rules about giving. Here David is ready to sacrifice a freewill offering. He wanted to give beyond what was required by the law. As Christians, we have no set rules for giving. All of our giving is a freewill offering. We simply sacrifice (money, time, etc.) out of our love and appreciation for God.

Lord, thank you for giving us the freedom to choose to give to you. Please help us to give with a sacrificial and generous heart. Amen.
