SERVING GOD

“But they will become his subjects, so they will know the difference between serving me and serving earthly rulers” (2 Chronicles 12:8 NLT).

I remember, years ago, when I came to the United States with the intention to work hard and make money. I was working compulsively serving the god of materialism and my own desires, which was also common with the rest of my friends. I made some accomplishments, but there was a problem: there was no satisfaction in my life, I did not have a clear purpose, and I was on my way to getting into a lot of problems.

I was only becoming a slave in the materialistic world, I was becoming a servant in a corrupt society.

“But they will become his subjects, so they will know the difference between serving me and serving earthly rulers” (2 Chronicles 12:8 NLT).

However, one day everything changed when I decided to serve God.
We should never complain because of serving God. Today, I can say that it is a privilege to serve God by serving His people. I continue to work hard, but now I know the difference between working hard for the world and working hard for God, and I would definitely prefer to serve God a million times than to serve my own desires, materialism or other selfish peoples’ whims.

My life serving Christ has been satisfying, full of purpose, peace, sincere friends, rewards, and health in my spiritual, family, social and financial life.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23-24 NIV).

Think about it:

Evaluate your life. Who are you really serving?
Are you satisfied in your life?
