Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in
the Lord.
Psalm 4:5 Modern English Version (MEV)
Okay, that's easy enough for God to say, but what exactly is a "sacrifice of righteousness?" Is it our money? Is it our time? What exactly are we talking about here? Fortunately, we are provided a clue in that same where it tells us, “Trust in the Lord." To make a long story short, everything we do begins with our trust in the Lord. It is only when we trust in Him that we are then free to do whatever our heart tells us we need to do, including the sacrifice of all we have and all we are. We don't simply trust in the Lord; we entrust ourselves to Him. That is the only real sacrifice of righteousness we can make.
