Thought For Today – January 11
Created And Saved To Serve! - By: Robert A. Searles
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, forgave us and justified 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 blessing to someone else or to some noble cause. Lets 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 , praise thy
name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth for thou hast magnified
thy word above thy name.” Psalm 138: 1,2.
