How We Serve The Lord

Different attitudes reveal how believers serve the Lord.

•  Some serve Him out of Discipline -- This attitude says, “I have to do it.”
•  Some serve Him out of Duty -- This attitude says, “I ought to do it. I owe it to Him.”
•  Others serve Him out of Devotion -- This attitude says, “I want to serve Him.”

Those who want to serve the Lord, serve because they are captured by His abundant love and amazing grace. I suppose I've served each way over the years, but I've found peace, joy, blessings and a bit of Heaven here on earth when I serve with devotion.

Ephesians 6:6-7 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

This is the way our service ought to be. We serve Him because we love Him.

John 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.
