How-to The Daily Sacrifice 102:19; 1 Cor. 15:31 During biblical times, one regular ritual of the sanctuary that was of great significance for God’s people was the daily sacrifice. Today it is no different, for God desires that we “die daily” (1 Cor. 15:31). Following are two practical ways we can continue the daily sacrifice within our own lives: Pray. David realized the importance of praying to God, and he did so frequently. Let us pray often and longer. Life gets busy. But there are ways to make prayer a greater part of it. For example, when you receive a compli- ment, take time to thank God for creating you. Another way to incorporate more prayer into your life is to put your alarm clock under your bed. When it rings, you will have to get out of bed and onto the floor to turn it off. This puts you in a perfect position to talk with God and to listen to what He wants to say to you. God knows the desires of our hearts, and He wants us to have what is best. Surrender. Giving up something we really want is not always fun, but it can be rewarding. God knows the desires of our hearts, and He wants us to have what is best. Making a conscious effort every day to give up what we know to be wrong for what the Father knows to be best will be a wonderful way to actively practice daily sacrifice. The earthly sanctuary may no longer be around, but the heavenly sanctu- ary still exists, and God still desires to have a relationship with His children every day. The prayers of the saints are heard in the heavenly sanctuary, and the surrender of His people is desired there as well.CQ Bible Study. REACT 1.
