Born to Serve the Lord
Last week, I reviewed Smoky Mountain Reunion’s CD, “Born to Serve the Lord.” Since then, I’ve been singing the title track. Have you ever truly thought about the fact that you were born to serve the Lord?
It’s interesting how perfectly God designed the human body. For those of us who have functioning eyes, hands, feet, mouth and ears, there’s no reason we can’t serve Him with our whole being. For those born without some of those body parts, they are no less important. God gives each person the senses he or she needs to serve Him.
Many times, we let perceived inadequacies keep us from trying but each person has a calling and a gift. If you’re a child of God, it is your responsibility to find those things in your life and to use them. Don’t let the lies of the enemy win out.
I’m partly speaking to myself here. It’s easy to see the things I can’t do but I’m striving to focus on what I can do. If God’s called you to something, He will equip you to do it. Your job is to move forward in faith and say, “Here am I, Lord, send me.” If you mean it, the words will barely escape your lips when you will find yourself bearing more fruit than ever before. That, my friend, is fulfilling your purpose.
