Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Our worship isn't confined to Sunday! Each day that we lovingly offer ourselves to Jesus as his disciples and servants, we are worshiping God as his holy and beloved children. Whenever we consciously resist evil and choose what is good, we offer pleasing and acceptable worship to God.
Isn't it exciting that our worship isn't primarily what we do in a church building?!
Isn't it incredible that our decisions and actions are crucial to our worship of God daily?!
Offering what we do with our bodies, what we think with our minds, and how we obey God from our hearts is vital spiritual worship!

My Prayer...

Holy Lord and God Almighty, please accept the offering of our thoughts, words, and actions today and each day that follows. We want our thoughts, words, and actions to show that we have offered ourselves to you as our loving worship for all that you have done to lavish your mercy and grace on us. In Jesus' name, we offer our bodies, our hearts, our minds, and our words to you, and pray. Amen.
