Serving My Lord

Scripture Deuteronomy 11:13 So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today–to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul–

Observation: When you love someone you want to serve them. I know I love my wife, Teri and I want to serve her and please her, it brings me joy. The Bible tells me to love my Lord with all of my heart and soul and now it tells me to serve Him in the same way. Serving isn’t a chore when you are doing it for someone you love, it’s a privilege. This is not a onetime service either it tells me to faithfully serve my Lord and that means always, with any opportunity that might arise I should be serving with a joyful heart.

Application: When I serve others in my Lord’s name I’m serving the Lord and obeying his command. I need to find more ways to serve His children and my brothers and sisters. I need to humble myself not just before my Lord but before others as well so that God can be glorified in what I do. I want to finish this race in a way that is honoring to Him and I want to do it serving using the gifts and abilities that were given to me.

Prayer: My Lord you’re are worthy of all of my love and service. Guide me each day in what you desire of me and help me be obedient in all you call on me to do. I’m here as your servant, may I please my Master each day.
