Always
Work
Enthusiastically
For
The Lord
Scripture
1
Corinthians 15
58 So,
my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work
enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for
the Lord is ever useless.
Observation
You
and I, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, are not to have the
kind of enthusiasm for the work of the Lord like what we might find
up in the stands at a Super Bowl game.
The
enthusiasm of a spectator is momentary and is very fickle, it ebbs
and flows with every good or every bad play of the game.
Our
enthusiasm for the Lord should be like that of the two teams down on
the playing field, giving 110 %, doing their best every moment of the
game with the hopes of winning a Super Bowl ring.
I
think, as Christians, that we sometimes need to be reminded that our
work for the Lord and the reward coming our way is going to make a
Super Bowl ring seem like nothing.
Nothing
this world has to offer compares to what God is preparing for us. So
lets work enthusiastically for the Lord!
Colossians
3:23
Whatever
you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and
not for men,
1
Corinthians 2:9
“No
eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”
Application
I
will serve the Lord enthusiastically!
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me not to be a spectator. Help me not to stay on the
sidelines. I want to be in the game. I want to count for You. Show me
what You want me to do. Lead and guide me. Give me a heart willing to
work for You. Give me the strength and the courage to do whatever You
put on my heart to do.
