"God's Trouble"

"I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before Me." (Psalms 50:8) What could possibly be a trouble for God? as if God could make a rock so big that even He could not pick up! Yeah, but did you notice that this verse does not speak of the positive, as if God is saying, "I just love all of these sacrifices and offerings that you have been giving unto Me", because that is not what He is saying here; quite the opposite is being said. God really does not desire our sacrifices and burnt offerings; as a matter of fact, they are really quite detestable if you get right down to it; they were meant to make us aware of the seriousness of our sins and trespasses; that a innocent life must be taken for the forgiveness of sin and that innocent blood must be shed for our iniquities; it is not something that God takes pleasure in, the killing of innocent animals is grottiest; especially if given continually, as if they are really no big deal. Why was the practice of animal sacrifice started? was it for man to have his sins forgiven, or was it to cover his sin so as to allow him to have fellowship with God? I am thinking that the latter was the actual reason, because God desires to have fellowship with us, not that we just cover up our own sins by shedding innocent blood. The same is true for the reason that He sent His Son; He did not send Jesus to just die on the cross to make us free from sin, but that the fellowship that was destroyed by Adam's sin could be restored, and man could once again enter into fellowship with their Creator. When we think that it is all about us being forgiven for our sins, we are missing out on the bigger picture, that so we could have fellowship with God is the most important reason that Jesus came and died for us, not so that we could have our sins forgiven and then go about our merry way. If you give a man an inch, he will take a mile; that is God's trouble! Having forgiveness of sin does not mean that we can sin because we have a way to cover our sins, that just gets old and does not benefit anyone; it surely does not please God in any way. God's intention was that we could experience fellowship with Him, and then want to continue having fellowship with Him, because that void in our hearts was made full; in other words, so that we would fall in love with Him, for real... "Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time has come? Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither there were they obedient unto his law. Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart." (Isaiah 42:18-25)
