Daily Bread – July 29, 2022 (The Sixth Day – Genesis 1:24-31) Romans 12:1 – I earnestly ask you then, brethren, through the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice – holy acceptable unto God, which is your true worship. There is an offering that God will cause the fire of His Holy Spirit to fall upon; and that is the offering that is holy and acceptable. Do you want the fire of God to fall upon your life every day? All you need to be willing to do is to present yourself before God upon that altar God has made, an offering totally surrendered to His will. Through the blood of Jesus Christ, we have been made holy and acceptable; now all we must be willing to do is remain consecrated to the will of the Father. Paul calls the presenting of our bodies “holy and acceptable, true worship.” The Greek phrase may be translated “true worship, spiritual worship, or reasonable service” (logiken latreian). True worship is what our heavenly Father has sought after in men (John 4:23). True worship is only possible if we will receive the gift of God, and allow the Holy Spirit to fill us and bring forth all the fruits of God’s divine will through our lives (John 4:10; Acts 2:38, 8:20, 10:45). The Holy Spirit will not force us; we must be willing to yield ourselves continually to His inspirations and direction if we are going to be this offering that flows with the rivers of the Spirit (John 7:38-39).
