2 Chronicles 17:16 "And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour."
Romans 12:1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
Here is another character in the Bible of whom we know little. Yet what we do know is an inspiration. His willing sacrifice of himself to God was so notable that it had to be mentioned. His life could not be spoken of without noting that he was the guy who had willingly offered himself to the Lord.
Talking about Amasiah without talking about his dedication to God, would be like talking about Micheal Jordan without mentioning his basketball career. It was what defined him. It was who he was. What a testimony.
Have I presented myself willingly as a living sacrifice to God? How does my life look different as a result of that? Years after I'm gone, will people be able to mention my life without mentioning my commitment to God?
