Romans 12:1 NIV – A Living Sacrifice – Therefore, I urge – Bible Gateway https://share.google/keFr9pMn4TuWClzwd

I would like to take this devotional blog and share about the subject of praising/worshipping God. I heard this beautiful song by Lauren Daigel, Let it be a Hallelujah. It is a vital part of our spiritual growth and health.  It starts with us turning our lives over for Him to use.

After all, letting Him do His perfect will is showing that we trust the Creator.  Yes, He loves us and wants the best for us; Jesus created us to show compassion and love to everyone.  So many times, we get so caught up in trying to take care of ourselves that we don’t let God grow and develop us.

Being so wrapped up into trying to figure life out, using our own understanding, we end up becoming lifeless and unsuccessful. I remember hearing and reading Romans 1:22. Paul was sharing that when people claim to be wise in their own strength, that is when they end up being very foolish.  Psalm 115:8 talks about how useless individuals become worshipping idols, becoming exactly like them.

Devoting ourselves to His inspiration, we end up becoming what we were made to be.  It is beautiful when you see the God-breathed you coming to life!  When that happens, it cuts down on our dissatisfaction with life.  We have that joy that only the Spirit gives. Lord use us; you only know what is best for us!
