Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Reflection:
So Paul urges us as God helps us, to “…take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. (MSG)” This is how we live everyday as God helps us, we place it all before God. As we walk away from the influences of this world and move toward God this is our daily worship to Him. As we recognize more quickly His way and turn to follow Him, this is our daily worship to Him.
Response:
Let’s pray that everyday we will place it all before God. Let’s pray that we will worship him daily, walk toward Him and recognize His way and quickly turn to follow Him.
