Created And Saved To Serve!
We were created and saved so that
we might serve God and bring honor and glory to his name. As we
begin this new day, let us ask ourselves, how can I best serve God
today and bring the most honor and glory to his Holy name.
First, we must acknowledge him as
God, the sovereign authority in the universe. “He that would come
to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of all them
that diligently seek him.” We must realize that he is the Holy God
and cannot look upon sin.
We are all sinners by nature and
estranged from God, but God in his mercy provided us with a Savior,
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to take our sins upon himself, and
to as many as would believe on him, and receive him, forgive us and
justify us before God the Father.
Having been given so great
salvation, let us love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all
our mind, and with all our soul. Let us seek first the kingdom of
God in all areas of our lives. Let us have a heart filled with
gratitude for all the blessings and good things that God has bestowed
upon us. Let us confess all our known sins, and claim the blood of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as the propitiation for our sins.
As someone has said, we ought to keep short accounts with God, and
having confessed our sins, let us present our bodies as living
sacrifices to God if perchance he might see fit to use us as
channels of his blessings to someone else or for some noble cause.
Let us not blush to name the name of Jesus our :Lord among our
comrades while others are blaspheming that worthy name. Let us be
ready always with an answer for those who would inquire of the hope
that we have in Christ. Let us open wide our lips and praise the
lord with our whole heart.
“I will praise thee with my
whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. I will
worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving
kindness and for thy truth for thou has magnified thy word above thy
name.” Psalm 138: 1,2.
