Today's Inspiration: Living Sacrifices

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing unto God - this is your spiritual act of worship....   
Romans 12:1

The Apostle Paul was persuaded that there is but one God, the living God, who made human bodies His temples indwelt by the living Spirit of God Himself. In light of this, Paul's concept of the body as a "living sacrifice" was revolutionary!

Paul says we as believers today should give ourselves - alive, vibrant and joyful - for His cause. He calls this our "reasonable service." Jesus said, "if anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23).

In Paul's letter, he followed by giving the key to this whole issue. He wrote, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). What we need today is the kind of radical commitment that says, "Yes, I will follow Jesus! I'm His - body, soul and spirit!" If this is true of us, "Then," Paul says, "you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will" (Romans 12:2).

@ Today Can Be the Best Day of Your Life

Today's Stars

You may now be looking at a problem or a dilemma that seems monstrous to you. You can see every aspect of its challenge. You can feel the fear it inspires in you. But you have to put it in perspective. One day this problem that now seems so huge will just be a blip on the radar. It will be insignificant to the future you. This too shall pass, Taurus, so pretend that it already has. Deal with what you must, but don't dwell on it. It's really not as important as it seems.
