Our Daily Rededication Of Ourselves To His Service

 As believers, we have been called to personal consecration where our lives are a reflection of Christ and our bodies a living sacrifice to the Lord. It is our spiritual worship and our reasonable service to yield our-lives, our-selves, and our-bodies to the Lord; to consecrate ourselves to Him each day.
 The fallen world and sinful man is all too ready to squeeze us into its own mould and to cultivate in us a worldly mindset where God is far removed. Our own sin nature rebels against the Spirit Who dwells within, and the Spirit lusts against our fallen fleshly desires, but Paul warns us not to be conformed to this world but rather to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
 Our Daily Rededication Of Ourselves To His Service is a lifelong program which we need to choose consciously. Transformation does not take place overnight but is dependent on the hidden values of the heart being translated into the active practice of our thoughts and motives. It is a freewill choice to avoid that which is evil and to honor the Lord in beautiful thoughts, beautiful words, and beautiful deeds, by choosing to do what is right and holy.
 May we turn from the things of this world in willing submission to God's child-training program so that like the Lord Jesus Christ, we may live in spirit and truth, walk in the light as He is in the light, and love others as He loves us.
Romans 12:2 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.

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, too often our minds are deflected from Jesus onto the things of the world, especially when times are difficult, but we want to keep our minds on Christ, knowing that this is Your best will for us. We pray that we become increasingly aware of the Spirit's promptings in our lives, so that day by day, our hearts and minds may become saturated with the Lord Jesus. May His nature be reflected through our actions and attitudes and may our lives be transformed daily, by the renewing of our minds. Help us to prove in our lives what Your will for us is, and may we do only those things that are good, and acceptable and perfect in Your sight, for Your praise and glory, and for the benefit of others. This we ask in the name of Jesus, AMEN.
