Hebrews 13:15, 16 - Living The Sacrifice Of Praise!Hebrews 13:15, 16 (NLT) With Jesus' help, let us continually offer our sacrifice of praise to God by proclaiming the glory of his name. 16 Don't forget to do good and to share what you have with those in need, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God.INTRODUCTION A "sacrifice of praise" today would include thanking Christ for his sacrifice on the cross and telling others about it. We should also thank him for daily blessings of food, friends, and family. Our acts of kindness also please God, even when they go unnoticed by others... Praise God early in the day before the rush, then again in the hurried middle, and at the end as the busy day winds down. Offer Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise. [Life Application SB 2019] COMMENTARY PEARL Continuous Praise Worship is a lifestyle that cannot be confined - your ongoing expression of gratitude to a holy Father. You worship when you live confidently, knowing God is in charge, trusting that He is working out His plan. You worship when you reject the rush of life and choose instead to pause and admire the beauty of creation. You worship when you direct your thoughts to the chorus of His grace, even quietly during a meeting or while preparing dinner. You worship with every silent praise that the great I AM wants a personal relationship with you. Worship can become the undercurrent of your entire day. The more you remind yourself of God's majesty, the more you'll live according to His righteousness. When thoughts of His love fuel you, you'll find delight in the good works He's set before you. When you live with a continuous stream of God-praise, you realize that you're not the hero of your story. You become equipped to live humbly, sacrificially, and lovingly toward others. Worship is the wellspring for good works, so don't relegate it as an activity to check off. Let it infuse your every breath. Dear Lord, would You help my soul rise in continuous chorus of worshiping You today?
