SERVING THE LORD IS GOOD! - Part 1

Are you ready for service? Are you ready to do whatever God wants you to do? This is important! And it does NOT matter what the NATURE of the service is. All service is EQUAL in importance! Therefore the person who is doing something that we consider to be, what shall I say?… high up the scale – that person is doing NOTHING of greater intrinsic importance than someone at the bottom of the scale. WE ALWAYS see the person at the top as being better and more important than the one at the bottom, right? BUT GOD DOESN'T!!!

In fact His concept of this is often exactly the OPPOSITE to ours! Jesus said: Whoever shall be first shall be last. And whoever shall be last shall be first. Luke 13:30 et al. Jesus again: 1 Corinthians Ch 12:21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. Hmm... so the weaker things like a little toe as just as necessary as - the head! Wow, isn't that a great thing to hear and learn!!

So each is important in the particular work they are doing. Colossians Ch 3:23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men. For example, your service may be washing dishes for a charity that provides meals to people from the street. And may I add here that your service does NOT have to be within the established church you attend. God may call you there; or He may not. The service you do MUST BE EXACTLY what God Himself calls you to!! And that's it! We have to be listening for HIS voice.

Bless you as you seek to be doing His will for you, and nothing else!
