The Habit of Daily Sacrifices

Hosea 6:6
I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices.I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings.

Malachi 1:8
When you give blind animals as sacrifices, isn't that wrong? And isn't it wrong to offer animals that are crippled and diseased? Try giving gifts like that to your governor, and see how pleased he is!" says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. "Go ahead, beg God to be merciful to you! But when you bring that kind of offering, why should he show you any favor at all?" asks the LORD of Heaven's Armies.

Philippians 4:18
At the moment I have all I need—and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God.

Hebrews 13:15
Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.

1 John 2:2
He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.

1 John 4:10
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

Proverbs 15:8
The LORD detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but he delights in the prayers of the upright.

Proverbs 21:3
The LORD is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer him sacrifices.

Psalm 141:2
Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering.

Psalm 116:17
I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

Psalm 51:15-17
Unseal my lips, O Lord, that my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.

'Nuff said about this one.
