How Much Am I Giving

Scripture: 1Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Observation: That is what I want to do give myself fully to the work of the Lord, but I fall very short. I barely work part time for my Lord and I know there is so much to do. My work for the Lord seems to be put on the back burner until I have time and maybe nothing else to do. I’m struggling a little bit about going out and witnessing this Saturday with the church, because I’m thinking I can do something else more enjoyable with that time. What else can be more worthwhile and satisfying?

Application: I know I’m busy at times but instead of God being last on my agenda He needs to be first. God’s work is more important than my relaxation and I should be excited for an opportunity to fulfill the purpose He has created me for. This Saturday I need to stand firm in honoring my Lord and show others how much I love my God. Each day I should be giving myself to the work of the Lord and incorporating that work with whatever I’m doing.

Prayer: Dear Lord strengthen your servant and give me peace in my mind that I will be focused on serving you. I want to serve you with all of my heart, but I get in my own way. Take charge and guide me I freely give you this life as a living sacrifice, may it be Holy and pleasing to you.
