How do you wish to serve
God? Will you serve Him in your own strength or will you decide to depend upon
His strength? Will you allow Him to guide and lead you in accordance to His will
and plans?
Many times I have asked
myself those same questions. When I depend and lean upon God I experience a
very satisfied life. When I depend upon myself and do things in my own strength
things do not go as smoothly as I would like.
Serving God should make me
very rich and make me satisfied with what I have. I should not thirst and long
for things God does not want me to have. I must be content in everything no
matter what my situations or circumstances may be.
I want to serve God with
all my heart, mind, spirit, body and soul doing things in His will. It is hard
at times to get a correct balance when walking with God, but knowing the Holy
Spirit of God is helping me and correcting me helps me to understand when I do
things wrong. I ask Him to make me aware of my sin and when I step out of line
to convict me of my sin so I am able to repent and ask Jesus to forgive me then
my sin will not rule over me. The desire of my heart is to follow and walk with
Jesus Christ being obedient and living a life completely surrendered to Him. Through
the Scriptures I am able to follow the example He has left me to follow.
Putting Him first in my life is the thing I desire to do. On no account do I
want to be an obstacle standing in the way of God working within me.
I came into this world
with nothing, and know when I leave this world I can take nothing.
Satan wants me to
chase after the things of the world and so he puts the temptations in front of me
to try to deter me from walking with God. As a child of God I must run away
from all those things which the enemy tries to tempt me with. The choice I make
can determine whether I allow the enemy to have a foothold or stronghold over
me. The Holy Spirit of God teaches me to fight the good fight in faith, and to
serve God in a righteous and correct way. I must ask God to grant should me His
grace and mercy giving me the faith, love, patience and gentleness to fight the
good fight in faith grabbing hold of the life that continues forever. I was called
to this life when I confessed the good confession before many witnesses, in the
sight of God, who has given life to everything, through Jesus Christ and so He
commands I obey Him.
