Here to Serve

Thought for Today - August 5
Here To Serve
By: Robert A. Searles

     Once we are saved, we are left here on earth to serve the Lord, and to continue his ministry of reconciliation  and good works which Jesus began when he was with us on earth. Now, the members of his body, being many and scattered throughout the world, having been anointed with the power of the  Holy Spirit, can accomplish great things for him  if we are willing and obedient servants. We are left here on earth after we are saved, not to do our own will but the will of him who saved us.  The repeated routine of every day life does not make a lot of sense unless we realize why we are doing it.  We work to buy food, clothing, and shelter, and some luxuries so that  we can take proper care of these bodies, and be happy.  Why do we do these things?  It ought to be so that the Holy Spirit which lives within  us can use us to  accomplish great things for the glory of God. 

     “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye  lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.  Know ye that  the Lord he is God: It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the  sheep of his pasture.  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his name.  For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.” Psalm 100: 1-5 (KJV)
