SERVING SIX ONE

Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8

Oh God, let me meditate on your Word. Help me not to forget to speak it all day long, and talk about your great works. You God give me life. Every breath that I take, let it be in You. And every step I take, let in be on the path that leads to you. Help me to follow you at all times, so that way I can lead others.

God, you are my strength, and my desire is to stay by your side. You are my courage at all times. I know I can always call on you and you will hear me. Your love never leaves me, for you created the love I have for others, and yours is by far greater. Your hand is mighty and strong, and can rescue me from whatever evil comes towards me. Just one Word from your mouth can stop any troubles that come against me.

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he shall sustain you, He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalms 55:22

God you said in Your Word, that there are many people to harvest, but just a few workers. “There are many people to harvest, but the workers are few. Matthew 9:37″. Let me be one of those workers. Use me, God. Use my hands, and my feet. Work through me, and show Your Glory through me. Pour out Your love and Grace on me, and fill me with your Holy Spirit. So that everything I say or do, will be what you have called me to do.

Thank you for loving me, and caring for me. Though I have done nothing to deserve your kindness. Everyone has sinned, and you still love us. Though our sin is what killed Your only Son, you have forgiven us, and then given us a free gift of Eternal Life, that all we must do is accept it, by walking down the path towards it. Many obstacles are before me, but I thank you for moving them out of my way. There are many paths to take, but there is no one like You God. I choose You.

The other day I was thinking about the verse, Romans 6:23…. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” . Well, I started thinking, if the wages of doing work for the devil, “sin”, is death, what is the wages of doing work for God….

My first thought was, the wages of working for God must be Enternal Life, because what can be better than that. But then after reading the verse again, I found out I was wrong. The wages of sin is death, but the “Gift” of God is Enternal Life…. right there it says that Enternal Life is not a wage, but a gift. That is one awesome gift! I just can’t begin to imagine what God’s wages are, but John 15:7 says,

“If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you will ask for what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”

Just repeating that verse, I know that if I abide in God, and His words abide in me, then He will give me my heart’s desire, and I can ask Him for anything and it will be done for me. That’s awesome to think about too. Now abiding in God is what we are supposed to do in life, and if we do just that, God will give us our hearts desire. I can go on so many tangents just using this one verse, and completely get off the subject I was on, but I believe that God’s wages are absolutely amazing. I think I’d rather work for God than the devil anyday. He pays better! I believe its not just Heavenly Riches, but earthly riches also. Now I am going to give an example of something I thought of.

Let’s just say there are two people whose jobs are digging holes… this is the best I could come up with…. well one of the guys uses a shovel and digs, while the other uses a large tractor and digs. Well, the one who uses a shovel – his work is probably much harder than the one who uses the tractor, but the one that uses the tractor – his wages are probably much higher than the one who uses the shovel.

Well, most likely the one who uses the tractor once started  off his job using a shovel, but as he worked harder and harder, he probably got promoted, and his wages went up, and his job actually got easier.

Ok, now saying all this, here is my point. If we can use the tools we have now for God, such as our hands and mouth as shovels, digging to help others out of the mud. Then God might promote us, meaning the wages we make, will go up. And if we keep putting all that we make with our wages God gives us back into helping others more and more, and buying better equiment, like we would a tractor, then the higher our wages might get. God wants to Bless you, but you must do work before you get your wages, so you need to learn how to use the tools you have now. So get busy and you’ll soon start getting paid.

If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you will ask for what you desire, and it shall be done for you. John 15:7

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
