True and Proper Worship

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. — Romans 12:1

God's mercy is overwhelming and completely undeserved.

In view of His great sacrifice, He calls me to offer myself to Him.

As a living sacrifice, pleasing to God.

Only He can make me holy.

Through Jesus I can come into His presence.

This is my true and proper worship.

Yesterday our church hosted a graduation ceremony for the Rescue Mission, nearby.

It was a joyful time of celebration.

 

Living Sacrifice

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship. — Romans 12:1

God has been merciful to us.

He asks me to offer myself as a living sacrifice to Him.

Giving myself back to Him each day, doing His will, following His way.

This is the kind of worship He asks of me.

To give Him my life and my heart and mind.

To be a living sacrifice, doing things that are pleasing to Him.

Living a life that is holy and that glorifies His name.

God Give Us Our Food

All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time. When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. — Psalm 104:27-28

We look to God to provide our food.

All creattures look to Him to provide what they need.

He knows just what we need each moment of the day.

God has opened His hand to us, and has given us over and above what we need.

He has made sure we are satisfied with the good thing he provides.

This weekend I made bread, pizza dough,vegetable stock, and lasagna to take to our friend whose husband just came home from the hospital. 

God has blessed us.

We are grateful for His good and perfect care.
