"The Son of man has come eating and drinking; and you say, `Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'"
Luke 7:34
Serving the Lord in His church is a way to thank Him for all the good works he does over your life. It is not a venue where you can criticize others in the guise of being righteous. Each one of us has his own weaknesses and such should not be seen as a reflection of our true character. Rather than dwell on the negative, why not try to see the good that your fellow servants are doing. Church service is a manifestation that God works powerfully in the life of His servant. It is a commitment to the Lord and no one else.
Be sure to always read His word everyday before doing anything else. This gives you the picture of what your life had been, where you are now, and what lies ahead of you. It is always fitting to be inspired and be guided as you face today's work. By doing so, you can be assured of His continuing graces and provisions.
PRAYER
Father God, thank you for reminding me of my commitment to accomplish the work that you have begun in me. As your steward, you expect that such works should properly be accounted for. Please accept my service as a thanksgiving offering for all the good things you have done for me and my family. Guide my mind and heart to work for peace rather than cause division. In my journey to serve in accordance with Your will, teach me on how to respond properly so that the life of Your Son will be greatly manifested in all the things I say and do. The wisdom of my acts today serves as an example for my children to emulate as they will eventually face a life of their own in the future.
