"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." (Romans 12:1-2 NLT)
I have read these words in many English translations and although the wording differs slightly the points made still remain. Live a sacrificial life. Do not live like the world. Let God transform my life starting with my thought life and then learn to discern God's will.
There is so much to say about how these verses have impacted my life as a worshiper and a worship leader. To summarize it in a few simple statements: worship is a way of life; It is a lifestyle; Worship is something we do everyday; The heart of our worship is discovered when we follow the trail of our time, affections, and resources.
Live your life today as an act of worship by offering your body as a living sacrifice.
