What Will You Do For God?

 What Will You Do For God?

"Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." (Acts 9:1-6, NKJV) 

Many believers do not think about what they can do for God. They are consumed with the thought of what they can receive from God. On the day of his encounter with Jesus, Saul knew he had something to do for the Lord. Do you know what yo have to do for Jesus? What will you do for God?

Jesus, Himself, said that it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). Giving is divine. God so loved that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus (John 3:16). Do you love God? If so, what are you giving Him?

You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving. In Matthew 9:37-38, the Bible says, "But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." (NKJV)

A true disciple of Jesus always seeks to serve our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We are saved to serve and to excel in the good works that God had prepared before hand (Ephesians 2:10). We are created to walk in those good works, otherwise we will not be fulfilled. 

Ask God today what He would have you do. Think about it this way - God is depending on you for a job He has created you for. You are His workmanship, wonderfully and fearfully made for that purpose. Will you oblige God?

Remember God is not the respecter of persons. The Bible says, "Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him." (Acts 10:34-35) 

Gear yourself up for service in the army of the Lord and in His vineyard. Ask the Lord and He will answer you (Jeremiah 33:3). Have a blessed day.
