Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1
The Apostle Paul is telling us that our dedication to God consists of much more than attending a church service and giving a tithe of our income. God wants our bodies, minds, attitudes and emotions. He wants our entire existence to be a “living-sacrifice” of worship to Him.
Give God all of you. Begin your day in His Word. Invite Him to use you for His purposes. Ask Him to speak and work through your body. Offer Him your life and body as a spiritual sacrifice for His glory. Ask expectantly, and watch how the Almighty Living God honors your gift and obedience.
Lord Jesus, thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice of Your life for my sins. Thank you for Your love and mercy in my life. Please send Your Holy Spirit to fill me constantly and enable me to continually live a life of sacrifice and obedience to You.
When God sends a message to us through scripture it is never by accident. In Isaiah 55:11, God says that wherever He sends His word it never returns empty, but always achieves the special purpose for which it was sent.
Prayerfully consider the verse that inspired this painting and know that the Mighty God of all the heavens has reached out to touch you this moment.
