Psalms‬ ‭4‬:‭5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD.

It’s a sacrifice living a lifestyle pleasing to God in such a tempting world. It’s a sacrifice to say “no” when our flesh is screaming yes. It’s a sacrifice not to yield to the lustful desires of our old nature.

However, when we offer a sacrifice of righteousness, we inform God we trust His plans above our own. We trust that God’s pleasures are far greater than any pleasure the world could provide. The great thing about this sacrifice is for today’s believer, we have been made righteous. When we know and believe we’re righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ, it makes it easier to offer a sacrifice to a loving forgiving Savior.

Yield not to temptation but, let’s offer our lives up to God.
