Let these scriptural foundations illuminate the true nature of sacrifice. Beyond the ancient altars, the divine voice calls for an offering of the inner self – a spirit broken yet humble, a will dedicated without reserve. This is the sacrifice of righteousness, poured out not in temples made by hands, but within the sanctuary of the heart. It involves the patient discipline of bringing every thought captive, the arduous task of stripping away vanity and sloth, and the resolute commitment to truth and virtue in every undertaking. Consider, then, how your life itself becomes this living sacrifice, a constant, quiet oblation of time, talent, and aspiration given wholly to the service of God and the pursuit of His wisdom. This is the noble worship, the spiritual labour most precious in His sight, demanding perpetual renewal and profound sincerity.
