Daily Devotion: What is a Living Sacrifice | Thursday

Send us Fan MailYour True and Proper WorshipPaul concludes by stating that offering your body as a living sacrifice is your "true and proper worship" (or "spiritual service of worship," as some translations say). This expands the definition of worship beyond singing songs on Sunday morning. True worship is the total dedication of your entire life—body, mind, and spirit—to God seven days a week. Your work, your rest, your interactions with family, your budgeting, and your choices are all liturgical acts. When your whole life is surrendered, your whole life becomes an act of praise.Reflection QuestionsIf your workplace, school, or home were the altar, what would the "worship service" look like today?How might you redefine one mundane, everyday task (e.g., doing dishes, answering emails, waiting in line) as an act of "spiritual worship"?When are you most tempted to separate the "spiritual" parts of your life (prayer, Bible study) from the "secular" parts (work, entertainment)? How can you make them one unified act of worship?Further ScriptureColossians 3:17: "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."1 Corinthians 10:31: "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."Support the showRegister for Our Upcoming Live Virtual Meditation Retreat (9/25 & 9/26) here:[email protected] a voicemail question or prayer requests here:(585) 331-3424
