#GettingPastMe Day 76 - Romans 12:2-3 - MSG So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. On the days when life feels dull, mundane, repetitious, and down right boring, God is now helping me see those things Im doing as an offering to Him. Life may not have turned out to be as glamorous as our young selves imagined, but there is an experience of true fulfilment and satisfaction that we can have, when we see the [purposes] He is developing us for; for His glory and for our gain. On the outside, it may not seem like much is happening, but if only we would go behind the scenes of our lives, where God is directing, we would see how much we are being renewed inwardly. 2 Corinthians 4:16 - PHILLIPS - We wish you could see how all this is working out for your benefit, and how the more grace God gives, the more thanksgiving will resound to His glory. This is the reason why we never collapse. The outward man does indeed suffer wear and tear, but every day the inward man receives fresh strength. Through it all -- the everyday, ordinary, sleeping, eating, going-to-work, walking around life -- Im learning to trust in God & learning to depend upon His Word! How refreshing it is to get past my own material desires, and enter into an even greater desire to embrace God. https://youtube/watch?v=tFzdFzzBqTc
