Take
Your Everyday, Ordinary Life –
Your
Sleeping, Eating, Going-to-work, And Walking-around life –
And
Place It Before God As An Offering.
Scripture
Romans
12
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.
3 Because
of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you
this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be
honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the
faith God has given us.
16 Live
in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company
of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
Observation
Don't
think you are better than you really are. And don't think you know it
all!
Don't
be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people.
Take
your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating,
going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as
an offering!
Live
in harmony with each other.
Don’t
become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without
even thinking.
Instead,
fix your attention on God.
…
There
is so much for me to apply in Romans 12. How about you?
Application
I
will fix my attention on God. What will you do?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, show me how to live in a way that brings You the most glory
and the most honor. Help me to enjoy the people that you bring into
my life. Don't ever let me think that I am better than someone else.
