Worship Devotional - "Lifestyle of Thanksgiving"

Key Scripture: "You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." - 1 Peter 2:5

Reflection

As we grow in God's presence, we should become more grateful because we're growing in knowledge of who God is and what He has done for us. If we don't grow in gratitude, it's symptomatic that we're probably not growing spiritually at all. Increasing thankfulness is a sign of spiritual health and maturity.

As priests today, we must offer up our lives as spiritual sacrifices of thanksgiving - not just during church services, but as a continuous lifestyle. This means thanksgiving becomes woven into the fabric of how we live, work, relate to others, and approach every aspect of our daily experience.
