(CLICK THE TITLE) Good morning and thank the lord for another day. We have so much to be thankful for, so just take some time out right now and give God some praise… Today we are going to dine on what it means to do Christian service.
Today’s Prayer
“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
Father, We are so aware of how satan picks at us and tries to trip us up all the time. We know there are spiritual dangers around us. Please help us to remain alert and to be under the Holy Spirit’s control at all times. We want to draw near to You, so the devil will flee. Please protect us and our families from harm and evil. Thank You for Your love, concern, and protection. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
Christian Service
Converted to God to Serve
1 Thessalonians 1:9
for they keep telling us about the wonderful welcome you gave us, and how you turned away from your idols to God so that now the living and true God only is your Master.
Constrained by Love to Serve
2 Corinthians 5:12-13
Are we trying to pat ourselves on the back again? No, I am giving you some good ammunition! You can use this on those preachers of yours who brag about how well they look and preach, but don’t have true and honest hearts. You can boast about us that we, at least, are well intentioned and honest. Are we insane [to say such things about ourselves]? If so, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. Whatever we do, it is certainly not for our own profit, but because Christ’s love controls us now. Since we believe that Christ died for all of us, we should also believe that we have died to the old life we used to live.
Serving an Owner
Acts 27:23
“For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me,
Serving a Lord
Colossians 3:23
Work hard and cheerfully at all you do, just as though you were working for the Lord and not merely for your masters,
The Servant’s Reward
Revelation 22:12
“See, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay everyone according to the deeds he has done.
Quote of the Day
The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of.
