Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your
trust in the Lord. Psalm 4:5
Though this Scripture contains only one sentence, it actually says a mouthful. It admonishes us, as believers, to offer the sacrifices of righteousness.
Living holy, or "right" in an unholy world can be quite challenging. Especially when the media and the world around you throws
sexual images in your face all the time, and when it also is an unspoken "expectation" among couples after a few dates to have sex (which is again why it's important to set the abstinence expectation up front so no one will try to "go there" with you).
However, it is possible.
With God all things are possible, right? Jesus sacrificed His body, something He actually didn't want to do as He cried out in the Garden of Gethsemane, ...O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me... (Matthew 26:39)
He knew what was about to go down because Jesus read the book, and He knew He was about to be beaten so badly that afterwards He wouldn't even resemble a man.
(Isaiah 52:14)
But, in spite of how hard it was on His flesh, He did it anyway. He realized the reward was much greater than the sacrifice.
In the same matter, we are to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God (Romans 12:1)
Our flesh may not like it, may not want to do it, and may even remind us from time to time in our daily walk that our bodies crave another warm body, but, we must remain pure and holy before God in our Christian walk, anyway, because we realize our reward in heaven and on earth is greater than the sacrifice. As we offer the sacrifice of righteousness with our lives, we trust that He will bless us, He will keep us, He will reward us.
