Ephesians 6:7-8 (NKJV)
“…with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.”
At times there are things we won’t particularly want to do, and we may put off doing it given the tedious aspects of the task, or the monotonous ordeal we may have to endure, to get it done.
What gets me through such times is realizing we are “serving God” in all capacities, no matter how big or small. When we alter our “attitudes” and adjust to the realization that ultimately the LORD is our “boss,” and we are “serving under Him,” in everything we do and say, and that eases my ability to get through it, knowing it is Him, my LORD and King that I serve.
If we do things haphazardly, and with a rushed “oh let’s get this over with” mind-set, it dims the vitality of being Christians, and it may allow access into other areas that are not pleasing to Him.
Taking care to do all things within the best of our ability, and not murmur or complain, although we want to, it solidifies our connection to His Spirit, and enables us to do things that we ordinarily wouldn’t be able to accomplish.
The path of righteousness is a convoluted one, and yet simplistic, if we observe His commandments, and adhere to His will and purpose for our lives. It’s so easy to love Him! Because He loves us back a gazillion times more!
No matter how mundane the issue, the important thing is to remember who we are serving when we endeavor to take on anything we do.
And when we reconcile to that ideology, we can go forth deeply and firmly entrenched in truth, prosperity, strength, and love of the LORD.
“Dear LORD, may I always realize who I am serving all the days of my life, may all I do be a reflection of Your love and my love for You, may I never waver from this mind-set and belief, today tomorrow and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen”
Luke 4:8
Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’” (NASB)
