Serving God

But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.  Joshua 22:5

 

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase serving God?

Maybe you think of missionaries or pastors. Maybe you think of qualifications like seminary training, a holy life, or a solid knowledge of God's Word. Or maybe you think of people who are younger and healthier than you or older and more experienced than you as the people God can use most effectively.

But listen: God wants to use you right where you are. Every day you probably come in contact with people who will never enter a church, talk with a pastor, or open a Bible--and God wants to use you to point them to Christ. You may be the bridge that God uses to bring them to Himself.

Be alert for opportunities to share the good news of Christ's love with others--even today. Never under-estimate what God can do through even your smallest effort to reach out to others in the name of Jesus.
