“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” – Romans 12:1-2 (Msg)
Isn’t it so encouraging to read that God brings the best out of us? What He wants for us and who He wants us to be, have been designed uniquely for us, because He knows what’s best for us and loves us!
Do you ever sit back and think about how much God loves us? What extravagant lengths He’s gone to, to show us His love.
The King of all creation knows us. Desires intimate relationship with us and wants us to experience in the here and now, Heaven on Earth. With His help – through the work of the Holy Spirit in us – we can live the lives that He’s purposed for us. Where we stand out from the culture around us – we stand out as His!
We have the opportunity to daily renew our commitment to God, by filtering our daily living through the lens of His Word and His Spirit…. That our daily-living would be an offering to Him. His Spirit and His Word are our foundation to live by. God strengthens us. Empowers us. Transforms us.
Let’s be women who heed the direction of our Holy God and desire to live for Him in every single thing that we do.
