Serve The Lord

2Timothy 2:24-26


"And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, ²⁵ in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, ²⁶ and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will."




We say we're servants for the Lord, but are we?  Is our speech and disposition always in a place of humility, letting God teach us to love Him and others?  Is the word of God so built into our genes, that when crisis arrive, we count all trials as joy, giving Him the glory, honor and praise?  God runs this show, His kingdom, and do we absolutely, positively, let Him do that in our situations?  Do we fully understand in our hearts, that God will except no other god for us to praise, but Him?  He says, He rather us hot or cold, if not, He will vomit us out of His mouth.  Do we heartfelt know that God has a heart, just as we do, and it can be broken by our disobedience to His word?  He's the God of love, and no other god can love us as deeply as He can and set us free.  Our whole journey on earth is to learn the deepest love, that surpasses all understanding, that will get us into heaven.  We ought to be able to teach one another in love, correcting those who are in opposition to God's word, if perhaps He might grant them repentance, that they may know the truth and escape the snare of the devil.  Servants of the Lord we are, and we must quiet our minds and relax our hearts, that we might internalize God's word and set the captives free.  Serve the Lord.


(Exodus 8:1)  "And the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me."


(Isaiah 61:1-2)  "“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; ² To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn."


Blessings to all servants who set the people free to serve God,
