The Cost of Serving Christ
Dottie Rambo told the story of how, when she was 8 years old, she wrote her first song and shared it with her mama. Her mama said to her, “Dottie, darling, you will pay a dear price for the anointing that the Lord has placed upon your life.” I think that was very insightful. It’s the part of Christianity people don’t think about.
If you are truly following God and the calling He’s placed on your life, the enemy is going to throw at you whatever he can think of to bring you down and discourage you. He wants so badly to see you fall or to have you distracted so that you end up not really doing what God has for you to do. Thankfully, we serve a God who will not let us down. He won’t force us to serve Him but, if we do so, He will give us the strength to stand in the midst of opposition.
If I were reliant on my own strength, I couldn’t have made it this far but, praise God, He continues to walk beside me. When I see the enemy begin to throw his darts, I turn to God and thank Him that He is greater than anyone or anything else on earth. Why would you want to serve anyone else?
