Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
Romans 12:1
Paul "urges" us. He desperately wants us to give our bodies for the service of God, not as a dead animal sacrifice of the Old Testament, but as a living and holy sacrifice. He begs us to sacrifice our lives. This is and every day process. Everything we think, say and do must be surrendered to God. We must live holy lives, just as Jesus did when He lived on earth. This is the kind of worship that is most pleasing to God.
Lord, help me to sacrifice my life for You every day. Help me to live by the direction of Your Spirit. Help me to give up anything in my life that does not align with Your will.
