Sacrifice
In the materialistic society in which many of us live and operate from day to day to day we know very little about making real sacrifices. We are taught that true happiness is achieved by living for ourselves and getting what we want in the accumulation of temporal things. We hear phrases like, “I wanted it and I’m going to get it.” Or, “I certainly deserve it.” Or, “It’s my right to have it.”
Here are some Scriptures in connection with making sacrifices in our daily life:
“By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name” (Hebrews 13:15).
“But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased” (Hebrews 13:16).
“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” (Romans 12:1).
What sacrifice will you make for the Lord today?
