“Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High; call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.” But to the wicked God says, “What right have you to tell of My statutes and to take My covenant in your mouth?” (Psalm 50:14-16)
What is it you can give the Lord? What is it He needs? The Lord desires to be in a love relationship with you. What you can give Him is yourself. Make the sacrifice and give your life to Him. See what He will do with what you give Him. Is He not more than able to do all things through Christ who strengthens you? Can He not do as He wills with what is His own?
Lord, this simple principle is hard to understand, yet this is the very thing that You ask. You ask me to give myself to You that I would become like Christ. Help me to do this very thing through Your Holy Spirit. Lead me in the way I should go that I may go there and be one who walks in Your will. It is truly no sacrifice to be whom You have created me to be. Help me get out of the way.
Author and finisher of my faith, lead me in the steps You have me walk this day to accomplish the Father’s will on earth as it shall be done in heaven. Lead me away from the never-changing circles of this world to seek first Your kingdom knowing that everything else that is needed shall be added after this. Lead me today in the way I should go and help me to follow Your steps. Amen.
