Living Sacrifices

"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

Today as you say no to food that you would like to eat or as you workout when you may not feel like it, tell God that you are worshipping Him with your body. Offer yourself as a living sacrifice to God. There is nothing more that I want to be than "holy and pleasing to God." The very thought of it gives me the motivation I need to continue my quest to have a healthy body for His glory. If you're denying yourselves or pushing yourselves only for yourself, many times we give up, thinking that we're not worth the effort. But, when we realize that these times can be worship unto the Lord, we can remember that He is worthy of all our sacrifice!!! Offer your body to Him today and see what He does to transform you, from the inside out.

Dear Heavenly Father, today we give You our bodies as living sacrifices. Make us holy and pleasing to You. We pray that You would accept our worship...make us more like Jesus. We love You and want to honor You. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
