"His Voice Today"
September 14
🔸️ Let's serve the Lord by abundant love! 🔸️
It is pathetic that so many of God’s children serve God with a dry practical formality. Yes, he faithfully accomplished all the appointed religious rites! He has a brief morning-evening meditation! Following that, he will read the names of some people to God like a parrot-child and pray for their needs! In addition to that, he will attend one or two or even three meetings in a week! After doing all these, he would have the hope that he had pleased God much! Because of this, no more harm to himself or his family hereafter! All his children must have passed the exam! Promotion for his job should be available quickly without delay! Thus he trusts for all these with an anticipation!!
Above all, if he had done something for the evangelistic ministry, he would be of 'pride' and have the trust! Contrary to all these expectations, if something happens, he will immediately pour out numerous blasphemy on God.... and on the people who caused it!!
It's better to do some ministry for God with fear, rather than keeping idle without doing anything for God! However, there is a superior way than this... there is a noble way of love!!(1Cor.12:31; 13:1). God never wants us to carry out our religious activities having the fear of the Lord that 'otherwise He would punish us'.
God wants us to serve the Lord just as a wife loves her husband and serves him!
Prayer:
Our heavenly Father! We thank you for making us to realise that following Your ways by "loving You" is the happiest Christian life! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
