Seeking and Serving
“I am fair, and I will remember all the work you have done. I will remember that you showed your love to me ” (Hebrews 6:10a)
Seeking God in dry times is a journey that involves (amongst other things) waiting, praying and doing. Joshua and Caleb (Numbers 14) realised that their action was required to take them to the Promise Land. If they were passive, they would not have realised that it was their faith and courage that qualified them to enter the Promise Land. The wilderness was the final destination for some the Israelites! Even though God promised them something, He needed them to cooperate with and obey Him. Joshua and Caleb’s step of faith and obedience served the purpose of establishing God’s plan for the future of His chosen people.
Our service to God is also important. When serving God, we turn our attention to hear Him closely and grow spiritually as we go through process. We turn away from distractions and things that may waste our energy. If we are only asking God for things but fail to ask how we can be of service in His Kingdom, we may be depriving ourselves of all that God has for us in the next chapter in life.
In scriptures, we see that seeking God can involve receiving instructions from Him (Psalm 16:7-9). Sometimes, for us to reach that place that we desire, there may be a step of obedience required. This may involve serving God and/or others. When we ask God for help, He can guide us and give us the grace to hear and do what He is asking of us in this season.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: Lord, I choose to serve you wholeheartedly. I am not consumed with my own problems and needs, instead I choose to give of my time, talents and resources to further your kingdom. I choose to find joy in seeking you; and I have faith that you will meet me in my time of service. Open my eyes to see the needs of those around me, and in the local body of Christ, and grant me the ability to be a blessing to others.
