Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.
What of Today’s Verse…
Because God went first and sacrificed what is most precious to him to save us, he can ask us to surrender ourselves to him. Only one problem: The cotton-picking sacrifice wants to keep crawling off the altar.
Let us Pray:
Holy and Righteous Saviour, I want to surrender my life, my body, and will to you. But I confess there are little things (and maybe some big things), that I keep from ever placing on that altar. Things I don’t want to give up. To the best of my ability, I pledge today to live for you in a way that leaves nothing outside your Lordship and control. I offer you me — all that I have and am — to be yours today. Through Jesus. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
The supreme truth is established by total silence, not logical discussion and argument. He alone sees the truth who sees the universe without the intervention of the mind, and therefore without the notion of a universe.
When you make your mind one-pointed through regular practice of meditation, you will find the supreme glory of the Lord.
