Glorify God

Glorify God  

Romams 12: 1-2

 " I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God."
  When you do this you get out of the drivers seat willingly and let God take control.  You surrender to God without a mental reservation.  and you watch and learn of God how to serve him.
  What world was being spoken of in this scripture? What world do you live in? Do you live in a world of your own making, where you decide your coming in and going out. Do you decide what career you will follow, who you will marry, where you will live, who you will be friends with, what you should eat , and what you should say, even what you should think.
  The third verse in Romans says "For I say, through the grace given to me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, accordingly as God halth dealt to every man the measure of faith."  For he that thinketh he knoweth any thing, let him know this, "He knoweth nothing as he ought to know it !
   If the chief end of man is to glorify God, does it not behoove us to surrender to God without a mental reservation, as Jesus did when he said in the garden of Gethsemane "Abba Father" (Mark 14:36) and " Into thy hands I commend my spirit " (Luke 23:46) as he hung on the cross.
  Jesus always bowed his head, as it were, and surrendered his natural mind to his father .  He always said he did nothing of himself. It was He that was in him that does the works.  Let us do likewise that we might be made one in Christ.

Prayer for every day  :  Oh God!  Help us put our confidence in you and not in our own understanding of you, for you are greater then any understanding we might have of you.
