My life verse
and the verse for this blog is starting to become more meaningful to me, more
personal.
Enjoy serving the Lord, and He will give you what you
want. Depend
on the Lord; trust Him and He will
take care of you. Psalms
37:4-5
I do love
when I can do something for others (and I don’t want people to know it most of
the time, I’m a behind the scenes person). I don’t always enjoy serving. Most
of the time that I’m serving it is in a way that I can control, my time, my
planning, or my location. The verse does not say enjoy serving me, instead it
says enjoy serving the Lord. It
isn’t about me ever, however I try to make it all about me.
Whenever and
however I serve I must do it to glorify the Lord, I do serve to try to make
things easier and better for others around me, and I don’t want credit either.
So far so good, however I don’t always have the right attitude and I go about
it begrudgingly. If I don’t have control of the environment in which I will
serve then I’m not serving with joy.
If I’m not
joyful I can’t enjoy what I’m doing and I can’t truly give it to the Lord. If I’m
not giving my service to the Lord how can I depend and trust my Lord? I know He
is always there no matter what I’m doing or what my attitude is. I would be more
aware of His presence if I focus on Him in everything I do.
As a wife I
must remember what I do for my husband, the ordinary (laundry, cooking,
cleaning) and the unexpected is serving God and I must enjoy doing it and remember it is for God and Barry. As a mother or even
for a stranger enjoy serving the Lord. Have a wonderful attitude even when I
think it doesn’t really matter.
I am a behind
the scenes servant and I’m not looking for credit, that is a right attitude and
as long as I’m not being prideful of that kind of service and find joy I'm doing what God has asked.
As I learn more of
how God is calling me through this verse I plan to share. Let’s grow together
in Enjoying to serve the Lord.
