Waiting for the Command

Posted by

Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Know you are in God’s presence and following His direction, His pillar of fire. His path is set before you. Sometimes though the command is to wait, to stay put, to ‘set up the tabernacle’ and worship, just be before Him. Other times there are commands to work, but there come commands to rest as well. Paul worked tirelessly, but he fellowshiped with others, maintained relationships and obeyed. There were years of learning, waiting before all that began. If you never stop, you will never learn, and then God will never call you into action.

Note: Paul was a Christian for 14 years before he made a convert; there were “eleven silent years.”

First Fruits

.Bring to God your best, your “first fruits.” He doesn’t want lazy offerings. He wants your attention, your devotion. Don’t give him the scraps, the leftovers of your day. Give Him your whole day because what He really wants is your whole life.

“ln Him we live and move and have our being.” Be aware of His presence and offer Him the moments, the conversations, the attitudes, the situations. He wants it all, all that is you.

Who Are You Serving?

Serving others is an extension of serving God. They aren’t two different things. When you are serving God by serving others, there is no burnout, no resentment at the lack of gratitude. There is fatigue and weariness. There is struggle, but there is fruit, especially in your life. If serving others is making you more like Jesus, if it’s producing the fruits of the Spirit in you, then you are serving God. If serving others is taking away your joy, your peace, your patience, etc., then you are serving yourself.
