As you live out Romans 15:1-5, you are already engaging in corporate worship. You are preparing yourself for the day when sin will be vanquished, when we will not be burdened by heartache, failure, fatigue, fear or sorrpw, but instead, will be liberated ultimately and completely by the One worthy of our corporate praise.

So the challenge today is this: As you seek to live out Romans 15:5, try to do so while intentionally thinking of the way in which you have contributed to the corporate worship of God. Think about how your act of righteous living is a fragrant offering to God — joining the millions of other fragrant offerings being offered to God. That your gift of worship is part of a massive collection of worship of God, incredibly unique on its own merit, yet part of a bigger picture that is impossible to fathom.

Today, obey God out of a passion to worship Him.
