We can find so many ways to serve the Lord; however, each day may look a bit different as it plays through a varieties of opportunities. Serving the Lord is exciting, because we never know where he will use our stories or the gifts he so generously provides. The beauty of life with God is each day a bit of heaven can manifest on earth where our feet have traveled.
We may share Truth, hope, and joy with people we have know for years or we may be asked to share those treasures from heaven with perfect strangers. You may be in the grocery store, the doctor’s office, or walking the neighborhood and find God has an assignment for you. Only God knows who needs to be touched by grace, so he connects our paths. There should be no stress involved in any of it, because God is the Giver of the revelation and grace that is necessary for every opportunity.
God promises he will not withhold anything good from us. Now, God’s idea of good may be very different than ours, but the good God provides is always permanent and focused on revealing his righteous presence. So, as God takes us into our communities, social outings, and gatherings, we will always have the “goods” to serve God as he instructs. Remember, God is the Provider who walks with us; yet, we must do the walking, as well.
Today, put your walking shoes on and look for ways to bless someone else. You carry Jesus wherever you go. And, when God is in the blessing, it is always a win-win. Joy Unspeakable!
Psalm 84:8-12 NLT
8
O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, hear my prayer.
Listen, O God of Jacob. Interlude
9
O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield!
Show favor to the one you have anointed.
10
A single day in your courts
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.
11
For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
He gives us grace and glory.
The Lord will withhold no good thing
from those who do what is right.
12
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
what joy for those who trust in you.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for pouring everything that is good within us. You prepare our hearts to receive your love each day. Then, you take us through the day and provide ways to serve you by passing the love on to others. Walk with us, today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
