21 Days of Prayer – Day 3
Romans 12:1-2
Brothers and sisters, God has shown you his mercy. So I am asking you to offer up your bodies to him while you are still alive. Your bodies are a holy sacrifice that is pleasing to God. When you offer your bodies to God, you are worshiping him in the right way. 2 Don’t live the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely changed. Then you will be able to test what God wants for you. And you will agree that what he wants is right. His plan is good and pleasing and perfect.

How much can we learn about people by observing them? If we
followed someone around for a day, we would quickly learn what food
that person likes to eat, what music they listen to and what makes
them laugh. We would be able to see what that person read, who
their friends were and how they spent money. Before long, we would
be able to give a full report on our subject.
What if someone followed you around for a day? What might they
learn about you? What would your daily choices say about you? How
long would it take your observer to figure out that you’re a Christian?
There’s an old expression that says, “If you were on trial for being a
follower of Christ, would there be enough evidence to convict you?”
What would you say to that? Is there evidence in your life that you
have been transformed?
- Share a time when someone knew you were a believer without
having been told. What gave you away? - Share a time when you knew someone was a believer without
having been told by that person. How did you know?
Dear God, thank you for changing our lives completely. Let us
remember that we are always being watched by people who want to
know what it means to be transformed by you. Amen
