Bible Reading: Romans 12
Focus verse: Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
I can serve one master. What's your priority? Satan doesn't try to get you to worship him. He wants you to focus on self. Make yourself a priority and it makes Satan win. Or you could hyper fixate on all the things Satan is doing in your life or in the world's problems, meditate in the turmoil that he is causing which is -- a crafty way to worship the Devil.
If you are caught in that trap, look up. Luke 21:28, "Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." Look to the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.
Isaiah 45:22-24 says "“Look to Me, and be saved,
All you ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
I have sworn by Myself;
The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness,
And shall not return,
That to Me every knee shall bow,
Every tongue shall take an oath.
He shall say, ‘Surely in the Lord I have righteousness and strength.
To Him men shall come,
And all shall be ashamed
Who are incensed against Him."
Surrender:
James 4:7, “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Luke 9:23, “Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”
WE must, as Christians, see ourselves rightly as God sees us, and see the world events through God's directions. He will give you rest.
