Then God says, "The gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies. The fire has devoured your bars." Fire eats iron. Every defense you have built around your life has a shelf life.

God himself commanded the sacrifices, so this is not God dismissing worship. It is God telling you where he looks first. Sacrifice can be scheduled. Justice costs you in the unscheduled moments: what you pay someone, what you say when a lie would be easier. Which one does your week prove?

Help me trust that You know who is Yours, and that Your care reaches down to the smallest detail of my night.
