This week our seventh look (O7thL) and final look as we ponder 'our needs' is on the aspect of SACRIFICE. As we ponder this, we must ask of ourselves . . . Is SACRIFICE needed? | As for me, I know that it is but it also is the 'most difficult' action to do as it is truly needed. Consider the following. First, would you, could you give your life for someone you love? |
Second, would/could you for someone you don't know?
Third, if you don't know how you would answer those first two questions, ask yourself what would you sacrifice for what?
So, please ponder sacrifice . . . because there will be various sacrifices needed by us each in the times ahead. The small ones are easy - it is the big sacrifices that will test the foundation of our character.
And remember, Romans 6:13 "Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness."
