IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY...SEPTEMBER 21, 2012
THE SERVANT
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Revelations 22:14
God is looking for servants--men and women who will die to self to serve Him. So why would anyone be offended by serving? We live in a culture where we are offended by taking orders. Leadership is promoted instead of submission. The last day spirit refuses to bow the knee...in prayer to God or in honor of Jesus Christ.
Christianity is not about finding your best life now. Christinity is about losing your life to take up the cross, to take up the work of the Father. Jesus is our best example of a servant. He came to earth to do His Father's command. When Jesus became clear of the pain and the suffering that was set for him he went through the passion.
Yes, we must desire to serve God. We must walk closely with him so that we can quickly engage in his commands. Let us not walk according to our own rule, but let us walk according to the rule of God.
Today, let us love serving God and let us love doing his commandments.
