Romans 12:1
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Daily worship is not limited to showing up to a building on a Sunday morning. Worship is not just song and dance. Worship is not just a preached word from a high and lifted place. Worship is an everyday act of representing God in many spaces.
It is difficult to imagine that worship is a daily practice. It is even more difficult to understand that worship is a sacrificial act of love towards God and people. The way that I treat you reflects my sacrificial worship. The way I pray for you Represents my worship. The way I address and deal with my enemies is also a sacrificial act.
There are days when the sacrifice feels just a little more painful. Times come when we don’t desire give anything. It becomes a serious challenge to continue When it feels like your worship is not acknowledged. But whose acknowledgment are we waiting on? The tension that lies with every human being is the desire to please God and the acknowledgment of a human being. As we live, we must do our best to always seek the affirmation of God. Why? Because human validation is temporary. However, God‘s well done lasts an eternity.
