Just Do Your Job One of the most important things to consider is our motive for why we serve. Read Luke 17:9-10. You may already do so much for the Lord. Don’t ever let yourself develop the idea you’re some kind of elite Christian because you serve. You’re doing your job. Don’t let yourself develop the expectation, People need to acknowledge me. People need to appreciate me. I do a lot. You are doing your duty! That’s all you’re doing. You’re just performing your job. Now I’m going to make this just as focused as I can make it. Here it is: You are commanded to serve. Commanded. And if I could be a messenger on behalf of Jesus Christ, He commands you to serve. Don’t pray about it. Don’t be thinking, Well, sometimes we serve in the summer. What?! This is your 24/7/365 card-carrying-follower-of-Jesus-Christ-member-of-the-family-of-God-duty. Duty! All right? Find a job. Roll up your sleeves and serve! Prayer – Father, I want to see my service to You as just what my life as a Christian is to be. But sadly, I look for selfish rewards when I serve. Please forgive me, Lord. Help me to desire to serve authentically, out of obedience to You and my love and passion for You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. PART OF MY DEVOTION TODAY....GOOD STUFF!
