Sacrifice Adds to the Value of an Activity

It would seem worth considering for the congregation in its educational program to offer training in the skill of public reading of scripture. All interested could develop their skills and their appreciation for the importance of this work. These people could become readers of the Word in the assembly and the reading of the Word would be held in higher honor.
 
"But the king said to Araunah, 'No, but I will buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.' " ---2 Samuel 24:24
 
 
 
 
Psalm 19:7-10
    The law of the Lord is perfect,
        reviving the soul;
    the testimony of the Lord is sure,
        making wise the simple;
    [8] the precepts of the Lord are right,
        rejoicing the heart;
    the commandment of the Lord is pure,
        enlightening the eyes;
    [9] the fear of the Lord is clean,
        enduring forever;
    the rules of the Lord are true,
        and righteous altogether.
    [10] More to be desired are they than gold,
        even much fine gold;
    sweeter also than honey
        and drippings of the honeycomb.
