Your Life is a Worship
Lenny Ports
Last week we learned that Worship is to present our beings as living sacrifices unto God. We learned that a living sacrifice requires the laying down of one life in order to see God resurrect another. In other words, when we deny ourselves and die to self, our new life in Christ would be resurrected. We learned two weeks ago that Abraham was willing to give up the very thing that God had blessed him with, believing that God was even able to raise Isaac up from the dead.
Giving ourselves as a living sacrifice to God is more than just denying the flesh and laying our lives on the altar, it is living a LIFE OF WORSHIP. Listen, YOUR LIFE IS A WORSHIP. The question is who or what is the object of worship. If it is God, you want your life to count for the glory of God.

Do all that you do as a praise unto God. Look at what Paul says down in vs 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,
• On my job, I want to be the best I can be, not to look good in front of people, but that I may bring praise to God!
• In my relationship with my wife, I want people to see the relationship between Christ and the church, how Jesus laid His life down for us and His bride who is the church is following the lead of their Authority in love.
• If you are a student in school, give yourself to your academics as if it is God who is encouraging you.
