September 14. Worship Me by living close to Me. This was My original design for man, into whom I breathed My very breath of Life. This is My desire for you: that you stay near Me as you walk along your life-path. Each day is an important part of that journey. Although you may feel as if you are going nowhere in this world, your spiritual journey is another matter altogether, taking you along steep, treacherous paths of adventure. That is why walking in the Light of My Presence is essential to keep you from stumbling. By staying close to Me, you present yourself as a living sacrifice. Even the most routine part of your day can be a spiritual act of worship, holy and pleasing to Me. ( Rev.22:9;Prov.15:33; Psa.37:4,34LBV;147:11LBV; 1 Thess.1:3) The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. —Genesis 2:7 ( Psa.139; Jer.17:5,7-10) Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord. —Psalm 89:15 ( Deut.8:2,3;Psa.119:9,11,67,71, 73,75,92,105,130; 17:15 LBV) Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. —Romans 12:1–2 ( Phil.4:6-9,13,19;2:1,2Barclay, 3-13; Prov.3:5,6; Isa.12:2; John 6:29,40,37,39;63)
