Why do you serve God? [March 17,2023 ]

Daily Word 🇬🇭

Why do you serve God?
Psalm 27:4
One thing have I asked of the Lord and that will I seek after, to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple

For the Psalmist, his main reason for serving God is to worship Him in the beauty of His holiness ( to behold the beauty of the Lord) and to ask for His guidance ( inquire in His temple)

What is your reason for serving God? Like, the songwriter said, we should serve and worship God for who He is.

Yes, He has done great and mighty things but if we love and serve Him because of these things then we love the gifts and not the giver.

The bible says in Revelations 2:10 that

…….be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee the crown of life.

It is only those who serve God for who He is that can be faithful to the end because it might seem sometimes that He has forgotten about you. Yet those who know who He is know He always remains faithful no matter what.

Matthew 5:16
Let your life so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

This verse from the new testament, gives another reason why we must serve God. We must always seek to glorify Him because of who He is.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Learn to praise and glorify God at all times.

Prayer
Let this song be your prayer

You spoke the word
And all the world
Came into being
Waved your hands
And planets filled the empty sky
You placed the woman and the man
Inside the garden
And though they fell
They found compassion
In your sight

Lord, I stand amazed
In the wonder of it all
Yet a greater wonder brings me to my knees
Lord I praise you
Because of who you are
Not for all the mighty deeds that you have done
Lord, I worship you
Because of who you are
It’s all the reason that I need
To voice my praise
Because of who you are.
Amen
