Key Scripture: Romans 12:1
Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship.
Devotional
Service is worship when it is offered to God. Presenting our bodies as living sacrifices means that everyday actions can become holy offerings. Folding laundry, mentoring a colleague, or praying with a friend-when done unto the Lord-rise like incense before Him.
Worship is not limited to songs and sanctuaries; it is a life aligned with God’s will. Seeing service as worship reframes ordinary tasks with divine purpose and joy.
This perspective loosens the grip of performance and invites the freedom of devotion. We serve not to earn favor but because we already have it in Christ.
Today, place your to‑do list on the altar. Invite God to receive each task as worship and to meet you in it.
