I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
God finds no fault with His people on the ground of their sacrifices or burnt offerings when those offerings have been kept continually before Him. The outward round of ritual is not lacking, and that is not where the reproof falls. What is reproved is the life behind the offerings, the conduct that fails to honor Him as He deserves.
The same word sets forth how great God is and that the rule over all belongs by right to Him. To labor on Satan's side in anarchy and war and strife is therefore to bring upon oneself a fearful loss. In the last great day, all who refused to place themselves under the rule of Christ will be shown how many souls were lost through that refusal.
