SUBMERGE Romans 12:1 (KJV) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. One of the worst scenarios in lifeguard rescue is trying to save a drowning person who is panicking and dragging the lifeguard down with them. It is the instinct of the human brain to go into survival mode and do whatever it can to stay alive. In desperation to stay alive, it can put the rescuer in the most danger. If a lifeguard is in such a situation, they must submerge themselves. This will force the drowning person to let go and create distance between the lifeguard and them. The Bible says we should present our bodies as living sacrifices to God. This is our reasonable service (Romans 12:1 KJV). That means you are being unreasonable, irrational, and illogical if you do not do it. This world is drowning and trying to drag you down with it, but the deeper life is as easy or as difficult as your level of resistance. The more you fight against it, the more this world will try to drag you down with it. Submerge yourself in the deep. If your devotion to God was surface, go deeper. This is the sensible or reasonable thing to do. Go deeper in the Word this year. Go deeper in prayer and intimacy with God. When you go deeper, the world has no choice but to relinquish its hold on you. PROPHETIC DECLARATION The life of Christ in me is evident, and my devotion to God is unquestionable. I am the Word in motion, and I am dedicated to the Lord 24/7! FURTHER STUDY 2 Corinthians 3:2-3DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE COPY OF THE GOODNEWS DAILY DEVOTIONAL AT: www.goodnewsworld.com/goodnewsdaily
