Serve Him Not Self


Have you chosen your way yet? Serving Him or serving self? Serving Him brings glory, honor, peace, and immortality. Serving self brings wrath and anger, trouble and distress. It's an easy and free choice, and God shows no favoritism, He just asks each of us to come.



July's Message, Day 7:

To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism. Romans 2:7-11 NIV



Glory, honor, peace, and immortality apart from Him is impossible. Persistence in doing good is first and foremost following Him and knowing His truth. To reject Him and reject the truth, means you are self-seeking and self-serving, following the way of evil, and will ultimately bring about His wrath and anger, with trouble and distress. Choose you this day whom you will serve. It's a free choice and there are certainly consequences for each option. God does not show favoritism, He just beckons each of us to come. Which path have you chosen? Glory, honor, peace, and immortality, or wrath, anger, trouble, and distress? Seek and serve Him, not self.
