DEVO. 07.29.24

“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.” (‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬)


- The Apostle Paul is pleading with and urging Christians!

- When you plead with someone, you are saying, “This is very, very important!”

- He is saying, “Please pay attention and don’t miss this!”

- He is saying that all Christians need to give their body to God.

- They need to be a living sacrifice!

- The interesting thing about a sacrifice is that it was usually already dead.

- It’s hard to sacrifice something that is alive because it will try to get off the altar.

- In the same way, we need to be a living sacrifice and all along realize that your “flesh” is going to try to resist it.

- Most of the time you are going to try to get off of the altar!

- Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually your flesh is going to resist.

- But you must humble yourself. Your mind, will and emotions!

- You must be that Living sacrifice so that you are holy and well pleasing to God.

- That means watching what you say, how you think, how you act and react!

- That is what God expects of you and that is called “worship”!

- This is reasonable worship!

- Worship is not singing a song!

- Worship is a life that is dead to self and alive to Christ!

- Today, what attitudes, actions or behaviors, in you, need to die, in order for the world around you to see Christ in you?

- Have a great Monday!
