Serving God and others
20/12/2019
Day 1
Job 31 v 13-23; Ps 112 v 1-10
I believe the willingness to serve the Lord and each other go hand in hand with humility. Fearing the Lord and giving a helping hand to the needy when required, but not only meeting someone’s physical needs, as sharing the hope we have in Christ also forms part of serving each other.
Day 2
Deut 15 v 1-11; Isaiah 58 v 1-14
13 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, 14 then you will find your joy in the Lord…”
How does this apply to us? This does not only apply to a specific day but also to our daily walk with the Lord. Someone recently said a life of self sacrifice is a hard life, but the only life worth living.
If we truly want to serve the Lord in humility and continue to be faithful to Him, we cannot follow our own way and do as we please. Once we reach a point where we serve God with our whole being, living a crucified life, day and night, we will find joy in the Lord and show grace and compassion to our brothers in need.
Day 3
Isaiah 10 v 1-4; Job 29 v 11-17
