And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Romans 12:1
When we think of worship we think of music, singing, preaching, teaching, etc... That is worship but there is more to worship than just singing and teaching. In Romans Paul tells us to give our bodies as a living sacrifice because of all that God has done for us.
What does this mean? Our bodies as a sacrifice?
When God created you He gave you gifts and different abilities to advance His kingdom. What abilities do you have? Are you good with starting up a conversation with a complete stranger? Do you love to be with kids? Has God gifted you with organization?
There are so many gifts that God has blessed His people with so that we can work as one body. If you don't know what your gifts are try asking God to reveal them to you. When you recognize them, put them to use to serve others. This is exactly what Jesus has taught us to do. Serve! This is truly the way to worship God. Where are you serving in your church? Where are you serving in your community? Where are you serving at work?
God has equipped you. You are awesome!
