But when you present the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you present the lame and sick, is it not evil? Why not offer it to your governor? Would he be pleased with you? Or would he receive you kindly?" says the LORD of hosts.One of the problems of people dealing with an intangible God is the awareness factor. It's really easy to decide He isn't paying that close of attention to little old me, and cheat a bit. After all, we know from long experience with our parents that what isn't seen is usually not punished.
However, God doesn't work like that. If our governor isn't happy with blemished product, why would we expect God, who can even see the flaws we can't, to be accepting of sub-par? Where we should be putting in the extra effort, we often only slide by, myself included.
