You know, one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned in my walk with Christ is that worship isn’t just what happens on Sunday — it’s what happens every day you wake up and say, “Lord, I’m Yours.”
Romans 12:1 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
That phrase — “living sacrifice” — is powerful. In the Old Testament, sacrifices were placed on the altar and consumed by fire. But God doesn’t want us dead; He wants us alive and surrendered. He’s not asking for a one-time offering — He’s asking for a daily devotion. Every thought, every choice, every attitude becomes part of our worship when we live for Him.
So, tomorrow morning, when your feet hit the floor, take a deep breath and whisper, “Lord, I’m Yours again today.” Present yourself — your time, your work, your words — as a living sacrifice. Because real worship isn’t about what we do at church; it’s about who we are when we leave it.
When you live that way — surrendered, thankful, and aware of His mercy — you discover that the altar isn’t a place you visit. It’s a life you live.
