Bought and Paid For

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6: [20] you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

Observation: All my life it’s been all about me. When Jesus came in my life it was better, but I am still selfish and look out for my interests most of the time. I forget this life doesn’t really belong to me but to God. Jesus paid the price and now I’m a child of God and I have a new Father and master. I did a terrible job of running this life before my Lord and almost destroyed it completely on more than one occasion. I’ve done better under God’s hand, but still haven’t given up complete control of what doesn’t belong to me anyway.

Application: I need to trust my Lord with all of my heart and mind. This life is only on loan and I need to return it in good condition. My body was created to honor Him, it is His temple. My time is a gift that should be used to serve others in Jesus name. When people look at me they should see the reflection of the owner of this life and praise Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord I thank you for redeeming your servant and I ask you to take full control of this life you have given me. Use it to serve others and to glorify your name. I know I can’t be in any better hands then yours. I love you Father take control.
