We trust Him, He’ll do the rest
Today, during my morning devotion. I felt that god was talking to me about how wrong I was about thinking lowly about a brother which was in service with me in the Lord… I told a very close sister in the lord about this situation and ask for prayer support and ask the lord to give me the wisdom to speak about things that are of good wisdom that comes from our father in heaven, yesterday. Although it was intended to pray for that particular bro/sis, I realize that in during my sharing…I was having a judgmental attitude.
2 Chronicles 25:2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
In 2 Chronicles 25:2, it says that King Amaziah did what was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a loyal heart. Although most of the time I might think that I’m doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord…I might not be doing it with a loyal heart and it might not be acceptable to God at all.
This verse really strike me to the heart, God show’s me that I needed to be more humble in everything I do for Him. I do my part as a servant in His service…be for the Lord…He’ll take care and convict the rest of the servants in His own will and time.
Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Real servants serve God with a mindset for God. They focus more on others and not on themselves. They’ll become more aware of needs around them. Real servants will not try to use God for their own purposes. Through this quiet time with Him, I learnt that everyone is selfish by nature. We tend to think highly about ourselves. But in god’s definition; self denial is the core of servanthood. Servants think about their work, not what others are doing. Our goal is make God look good, not ourselves.
Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
In this verse, God told me about how much I need to learn not to talk about others not serving God in their full extend or etc etc. But believe and trust that God will make that fellow servant stand when he/she is convicted by God Himself.
Matthew 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Other than learning to be a servant…todays reading talks about how money could draw us away from God…if we treat it as our masters. When Jesus is my master, money serves me, but if money becomes my master, I become its slave. Wealth is not a sin, but failing to use it for God’s glory is a sin. After the Lord taught me and rebuke me through these verses of scripture he comforted me in His verse of scripture.
Hebrews 6:10 For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Speaking quietly to me that He’ll never never forget my labour for Him. To those people out there that I serving the Lord and no one knows about it…get encouraged with this words of scripture…it’ll do you well…as it is always a blessing to be a servant of God…the lord will remember your labours…so never never stop serving God… serving Him is a blessing.
We’ve been given different assignments in life, we’re uniquely shaped. We just have to trust God and keep serving Him and He’ll help others along the way to draw them to Himself.
