I really love this little verse. I love the way it summarises how we get through our days and how we deal with the every day trials and struggles we face. We see every day how broken this world is. We see how things are turning more and more against anything having to do with God and His people.
In the midst of all that is going on and all the violence and bad news and hatred and anger and confusion we can keep on plugging away because we when we have presented our bodies as a living sacrifce we can:
Rejoice in our permanent settled hope in Christ
That hope allows us to be patient and endure trials
We have the wonderful opportunity to keep on with stedfast prayer
The only way we can possible hope to do this is if we keep pur hearts and heads in the right place. We can’t get out of focus and get distracted by all the mess around us. If we do we are going to get really discouraged.
No matter what though, if we focus on rejoicing and patience and prayer God can carry us through whatever we are facing.
