We Will Serve the Lord

From Our Pastor’s Desk

Joshua 24:15 – “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the
LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your
fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the
Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the
LORD” 

Many of us are pew-warmers. But inside of us are talents and gifts that
need to be stirred up for God’s use, as apostle Paul told Timothy in 2nd
Timothy 1:6, saying “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the
gift of God, which is in thee…” 

When things are not working the way they
should, we get frustrated. 

If you put your money in a vending machine, and the
machine failed to give you your soda or snack, you get angry and/or frustrated. 

Well, are you frustrating God by not doing exactly what He intended you to do
when He created you? 

Are you working according to what He had in mind for your
life? John 9:4 says, “I must work the works of Him who sent me while it is
day; the night is coming when no one can work.” 

Take time today to ask
yourself, “Whose work have I been working?” “Am I fulfilling God’s
purpose upon my life?”  The time to serve
the Lord is now, during our “day”. 

Let us rise in faith, commitment and
devotion, like Joshua, and say “….we will service the Lord”  And as you labor in His vine-yard, He alone
will give you a reward that no man can give, and silver/gold can never buy, in
Jesus Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2023.  

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
