We worship God by serving God.
In order to serve God, we have to serve the people around us. God doesn’t need anything from us. Instead, He wants something for us. So He calls us to serve others. And we’ll never lock eyes with someone whom God doesn’t adore. Those are the people we get to serve.
We may wonder what we have to offer someone. God equipped us with distinct spiritual gifts before we inhaled our first breath. He made us to operate in a certain way, so that others will be blessed and encouraged by our contribution. So, how we are wired is God-driven and God-ordained.
Maybe you are:
…an entrepreneur who knows how to execute the most remarkable plans.
…people-oriented, and you know just what to say and do to bring comfort to someone in need.
…a “behind-the-scenes” person, and you always ensure that tasks are done even if no one ever notices.
…a hospitable person who knows how to make a room inviting and brings a calmness over others.
…an amazing writer who is able to convey truths about God in ways that help others understand Him more.
Whether we stand on a stage in front of hundreds of people, meet with a hurting friend over coffee, perform a human resources role for our company, or pick up our children from the school carpool line, this is our act of serving God.
Again, it’s less about our activity and more about our heart’s disposition. It’s not what we do… but why we do it.
Our aim in serving God is to bring Him glory. Whatever it is and however we’re able, we can serve God by serving others. Let’s commit ourselves to making a difference in the Body of Christ with our gifts, abilities and traits. It doesn’t have to be a full-time job, but it should be our full-time calling.
Psalm 103
