Serving God Properly



“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire… Hebrews 12:28-29.”

Next to being a child of God through the redemptive power of the precious blood of Jesus, serving God comes a pretty close second. I have the great privilege of writing and now preaching and there isn’t one time that I either write or preach, that the awesome responsibility of doing these lays heavily on my heart.

Whatever we do, whether it is cleaning the toilet or preaching the gospel, we do it as if God was watching. We do not serve some vague being, who does not care about how we do things. Jesus is perfect in all his acts. Our Saviour was the perfect Son, perfect carpenter and he was perfect in every way.

We should serve God in reverence and in godly fear. Godly fear is the fear of letting God down or of hurting his heart. We want to serve Him excellently in all we do. We should strive for the standards he has.

Everything we do in our lives, some of it will be stubble and some will be rubies and gold, some will remain and some will be burnt off. Let’s make sure all our service for God is of the ruby type and acceptable to God our precious Saviour and Lord.

God bless you, Keith
