TOO MUCH TO ASK?

Today's reading: Romans 11-12

"...When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?" Romans 12:1 NLT

Let's be honest, this is the 'middle child' of Romans 12:1.

The first part of the verse, give your bodies to God as a living and holy sacrifice, usually gets all the fanfare, spotlight and sermonizing.

But this second part...

This second part is where the rubber meets the road.

Where the 'men are separated from the boys'.

Where faith becomes more of what its supposed to be, not just a descriptive word we label ourselves with.

Is there something God is asking you to do?

A role He is asking you to play?

A ministry He is asking you to become involved in?

A person He is asking you to speak to for Him?

I would urge you, as I am doing for myself, to lay each and every excuse as to why you can't/won't/shouldn't/couldn't up against the litmus test of this morning's verse...

When you think of what He has done for you, is this too much to ask?

Well, is it?
