They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Romans 1

They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. v25

Lord You are indeed a great God and worthy of praise every moment of every day...however, I know there are many moments when I worship created things vs You...I know I am instead to focus and fix my eyes on You...the author and perfecter of my faith, and to:

....to offer [my]bod[y] as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:1-2

Help me Jesus...focus and fix my eyes on You vs the created.  Help me offer my body and life as a living sacrifice to You.

My Prayer:  Lord, You came to earth, and willingly laid down Your life...specifically for me.  This is a gift for which I am not deserving...I know.  I am selfish, quick to anger, slow to listen, harsh with my thoughts, words, actions, etc....my sin is so much more!  Thank You that You love me anyway but please forgive me.  Help me turn from such sin and towards You Jesus.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Help me love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Help me understand, be obedient to and apply Your message for me today and everyday.
