THE SACRIFICE OF PRAYER

 

SACRIFICE OF PRAYER

 

Hebrews 13:15-16 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 

 

  “Sacrifice” is not just giving up something we want. It also means to do something to honor, or to give something to honor, show loyalty or devotion, to avow allegiance, and show reverence and respect.

  Using those definitions, then prayer becomes a “sacrifice”.

  We should never be guilty of just asking, asking, asking. We should constantly offer thanks and praise giving God the glory!
