Summary
Drawing from the contrast between Cain and Abel and David's refusal to offer God what cost him nothing (2 Samuel 24), this devotion urges believers to give God their very best—primarily their lives and righteousness, not just money. Poonen warns against being like Cain, who gave cheap offerings merely to ease his conscience, and shares personal testimony of refusing to cheat on customs duty because God has no shortage of money but a great shortage of righteous people. The type of offering one brings to God reveals how important God truly is in one's life.

What does it mean to give God the best?Giving God the best is not about money, but about offering Him our lives because He desires righteousness more than wealth.
Are you like Cain or Abel?Some people offer things to God merely to ease their conscience, but God rejects such worthless offerings and accepts only the very best, as seen in the lives of Cain and Abel.
The value of your offering shows God's importance to youJust as the value of a wedding gift depends on how much you value the person, the quality of your offering reflects how much you value God.
The danger of depending on people instead of GodIn 2 Samuel 24, David's sin of counting his people showed a reliance on human strength rather than God, leading to divine judgment.2 Samuel 24:1–15
Never offer God something that costs you nothingFollowing David's example, we must refuse to give God an offering that requires no sacrifice, as true worship must involve a personal cost.
