"...They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor."
Isaiah 61:3
As
we've been studying what it means to truly worship in our Bible study,
our group has had some very interesting discussions about what that
means in our own lives. This week's passage is from Romans 12:1-8 where
Paul talks about offering our bodies as living sacrifices to God. Not
only does God want us to give Him our souls, but our entire bodies to
"be transformed" (vs 2) and serve God with the gifts He has
given each of us. One of the things I was convicted of as I studied
this passage was to think less about what others are not doing and more
about how and what I am doing and Who I am doing it for. In this way,
I can become more and more a living sacrifice as I offer the Lord my
gifts and my attitude as I serve Him.
For Him,
