Daily To Do List

Now that we have looked at Exodus as "does your face light up".... Lets look at just a couple of verses that can help us get started on the right track.

Romans 12:1&2  And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.

Ok so that's verse one..I PLEAD with you to give your bodies to God because all HE has done for you.....

What has God done for you?

That is the first and most important question, because if you think God has done NOTHING for you then we have a bigger issue that we need to deal with.

Secondly let them be a LIVING and Holy sacrifice...

We are to be a DAILY living, holy sacrifice to God...not just on  Sunday.

Now how do we do that?  In verse 2 you find that answer.

2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

So what are the customs of this world that you are following?  Are they taking you farther away from where God wants you to be?  Are you listening to people who like the serpent in Genesis 3 are saying

 He said to the woman, “Did God really say,...."

And here found in Galatians 5 you will find a list of the acts of the flesh:

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;  idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions  and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But those who are walking by the Spirit of God.... James 1 says

 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,  because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.  Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror  and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.  But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

So what is it that God is working on you about?  What is it that He is asking to you change to start living a life that more reflects HIS IMAGE on a daily basis?
