Today’s Scripture: And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:2 ESV
What a blessing it is to be able to give ourselves up and find God. When we face things that are beyond us isn’t it wonderful to give ourselves up to God and His will?
Ephesians 5 calls us unto thanksgiving. In offering ourselves up to God and sacrificing ourselves to Him we find thanksgiving. Thanksgiving that the LORD will show us His will and He will guide us to walk in His love.
Ephesians 5:16 instructs us to make the best use of our time. It was proven to me this morning that giving myself up for God; offering and sacrificing myself to God IS the best use of my time.
In this time, the Spirit sends up our fragrant offerings and we find God’s reassuring love, wisdom and light. God’s light produces what is good, right and true.
Are you willing and thankful to give yourself up to God?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for accepting my offering and sacrificing of myself to You. I pray these fragrances are pleasing to You. Thank You for Your Spirit and Your light that Jesus promised us. Thank You for Your wisdom and discernment to do what is pleasing to You. I give myself to You. Amen
