Serving God

Serving God

"You are going to be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see the light of the sun."
Acts 13:11

Are there days when you wake up, maybe not feeling well physically, or dealing with problems in your life, and serving the Lord is the last thing on your mind. This may be God giving you a spiritual test to see just how dedicated you are to serving Him, or it could be Satan's way to keep you distracted, and his way of leading you astray. Each of you are going to have these kinds of days, and the test is to serve God despite what you are dealing with in your own life. My message today is to let you know that serving God is something that every child of God is called to do every day. It is not an option, it is a commandment. It is not something we do when we feel like it, but it is what our life as a Christian is all about. Despite how you feel, or what you are going through, the problems of your daily life must never take away your commitment to serving God. When you have these kind of days, you need to seek God even more, and pray that He will give you the strength to accomplish all He desires you to do that day. You need to realize that you can't always rely on your own strength, to get through your problems, but that you need to rely on the strength of God to help you deal with them. Remember that when you are weak, God is strong. You will find that it is amazing how many of these kind of days will go by quickly, and how God will bless you on those days. God will always help you when you are serving Him, following Him, and honoring Him with your life. So even despite what you are facing in your life today, don't forget that serving God is not an option, but a mandate, as you don't want to give Satan a foothold in your life, but to keep God first, and let Him bless you.
