A Living Sacrifice

Christian Commitment
in Today's World
Romans 12:1-2 (The Message)
Place Your Life Before God
 1-2 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

For Reflection
Flash and Dash -- the popular sign of progress -- do it up big!  I suppose I would be foolish to suggest that big events can not result in significant movement toward the Kingdom.  However, how many of us will be in the position to initiate big events?  Life is lived in moments.  How will you be remembered as others pass by?  It makes all the difference!

Pray "Fix your attention on God."  "Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering"
