Today’s Reading:
Psalm 45
Romans 12
Hebrews 13
“Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship. Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”
Romans 12:1-2 TPT
The Spirit of the Lord says,
My grace is sufficient for building. My grace is sufficient for growth. My grace is sufficient for challenges. Do not give up hope. My heart is on the children. They are on My mind.
My grace is on you for service. My grace is on you for peace. Let the work of your hands honor Me. Let the work of your hands be an offering, a sacrifice, a praise to Me, the Lord Most High. Let your work be an act of worship. Let it rise like incense and as a beautiful song before Me. Let the work of your hands magnify Me and exalt My Name. Let what seems like drudgery be an opportunity for praise. Let what seem like mindless tasks be opportunities for worship and thanksgiving.
“My heart is on fire, boiling over with passion. Bubbling up within me are these beautiful lyrics as a lovely poem to be sung for the King. Like a river bursting its banks, I’m overflowing with words, spilling out into this sacred story.”
Psalms 45:1 TPT
Let your heart overflow with a pleasing song to Me. Let the work of your hands be an act and a song of worship to Me, the Lord Most High. Let the work of your hands accomplish their purpose. As you dedicate, as you offer your work to Me, the Lord Most High, I will pour fire on the sacrifice, and I will cause it to prosper. I will make it succeed. As you offer your work to Me as an act of praise, as a sacrifice of praise, as an opportunity for worship, I will respond with fire from Heaven on your offering, and I will set it to blaze.
“So we no longer offer up a steady stream of blood sacrifices, but through Jesus, we will offer up to God a steady stream of praise sacrifices—these are “the lambs” we offer from our lips that celebrate his name! We will show mercy to the poor and not miss an opportunity to do acts of kindness for others, for these are the true sacrifices that delight God’s heart.”
Hebrews 13:15-16 TPT
I will cause the work of your hands to prosper and succeed in ways you could have never fathomed. I will cause doors to open before you that you never imagined existed. As you present your work as an offering, a sacrifice, a praise and an opportunity for thanksgiving, I will respond from Heaven. I will cause My fire to consume the offering, and I will set it to prosper. Work with all diligence, and worship with a full heart. This is your rightful and honorable service to the Lord Most High, your God and King.
How to Respond
- Choose to honor the Lord through the work of your hands. Choose to let all of the work He has called you to do be done as an act of worship and thanksgiving to Him.
- Pray, Holy Spirit, You are most welcome in my work. Come into my work today Lord. Help me to have a strong awareness of Your presence as I do the work set before me. Help me to honor you in all that I do today. May I bring Your love to all those You put in my path.
- Decree, I dedicate the work of my hands to the Lord today. May my work be an acceptable sacrifice and act of worship before the Lord Most High, My God and King.
