Do not lack diligence in zeal; 
be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord.
Romans 12:11 CSB
Serve the Lord.
Paul does not tell us to serve the church, serve the _________, serve the ministry that we might be connected to, but to serve the Lord.
Serve the Lord.
The one who's yoke is easy, who's burden is light, the one who always stayed in tune with the Father's heart, the one who wasn't bothered by social conventions or what others thought of him, but loved people.
Serve the Lord.
The one who washed feet, the one who gave himself for us.
It's so easy to lose sight of him in the noise and distractions and the demands of the world that we live in.
To lose sight of him in the clamour of my own heart for recognition or reward.
When I forget that I am serving the Lord, that's when things so easily and quickly get out of balance.
Let's not lose sight today of who it is we serve :)

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
