Topic: SERVING JESUS IN EVERYTHING
Text: Read: Ephesians6:6-7
Daily Bible Study: Gen. 49-50; Matt. 13
“Not with eyes services, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart” (Eph. 6:6).
Apostle Paul was talking to servants and masters. He reminded both groups that we serve one Master who is in heaven – Christ Jesus our Saviour. So we need to do everything with sincerity of heart, integrity, and respect because we are serving and working for Christ Himself. Apostle Paul reminds us, that with good will should we do service as to the Lord and not to men (v. 7).
What a privilege to serve God in everything we do! Whether answering a phone call, driving a car, doing house chores, teaching in a school, working for someone, running our own business or doing whatsoever gives us a honest living; let us do it all with a cheerful heart as if doing it unto the Lord and not just unto men. Let us work with a smile today and every day; remembering that no matter what we are doing, we are serving God and He takes note of it.
Wouldn’t we be happy if those serving or working for us did it with all their heart? As God’s children, we should live with that same mind and heart. So, whatever we do, whether in word or deed, we should do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through Him (Col. 3:17). Let your hard work and dedication to serving diligently help others to see Christ through you and be won over to the service of God.
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I want to serve You in everything I do. Help me to remember this pledge each day of my life. I pray in Your holy name – Amen.
