Embracing Worship in Every Area of Motherhood
I heard 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. – Romans 12:1
Growing up, I discovered the joy of music and it continues to bring me immense happiness to this day. For me, there's something truly special about worshiping God through song. However, as I delved into the New Testament, I realized that worship encompasses so much more than just singing melodies. It is a beautiful, all-encompassing way of life that involves the posture of our hearts, centered on loving God and others. In fact, this is what true and proper worship is all about. It's a journey that extends beyond the limits of a song and invites us to live a life dedicated to love and devotion.
Romans 12:1 reminds us that a life of worship is a response. Paul wrote, "To offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God." Worship is our reaction to and for God, our way of giving our lives back to Him. It encompasses every aspect of our being – our attitudes, speech, desires, and actions – in a way that honors and pleases Him. Even in the seemingly mundane tasks of motherhood, like folding clothes or doing dishes, when done with a heart positioned to love God and others, these everyday moments become sacred. Imagine how different today could be if we saw each moment as an opportunity for worship.
In conclusion, let us remember to worship God in our sock today. Let’s us worship Him in all we do even in the simplest of tasks. However, our worship should not be limited to just that. We are called to worship Him in everything we do, offering ourselves as living sacrifices that are holy and pleasing to the Lord. By embracing this mindset, we can transform our daily routines into acts of worship, honoring and glorifying God in all areas of our lives. So, let us strive to worship Him wholeheartedly, not just in our words and actions, but in every moment and every endeavor.
Dear Father, with your great mercy, I offer myself as a living sacrifice. Please guide my thoughts, words, hands, and feet. I dedicate my entire being to you today, desiring to live a pleasing life that is wholly devoted to you. In Jesus' name, amen.
