SERVE WITHOUT FEAR

SERVE WITHOUT FEAR

Grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life. -- Luke 1:74-75

Let's face it, you really can not please everybody. There will always exist an enemy in your midst whose primary objective is to destroy you. But one thing is for sure, "for so long as you serve God in holiness and righteousness, He will always deliver you from the hand of your enemies". This is an absolute truth of God's word and promises. If God is with you, who can be against you?

Do not concern yourself with the way other people see you or judge you and never pass judgment upon yourself. Do not be conscious of anything you see and hear that is not favorable to you or against you. At the end of the day, I is always the Lord who will judge you.

The Lord will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will manifest the motives of your heart. These is what matters to God. He does not look upon your appearance nor your status in life but on the condition of your heart towards Him.

God loves you so much that He has set you apart for Himself so that you may live a life worthy of His calling. This is the kind of life He wanted you to have. A life of service for the glory of His Name. A life that is not selfish but willing to give himself up for the love of God and for the love of others. A life made manifest in the flesh by His one and only Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ whose Spirit powerfully dwells in you today.

You are a servant of Christ and steward of the mysteries of God. As a steward, you must be trustworthy. God is honored by your service to Him today.

Deliver us Lord from every evil and grant us peace in our days. In your mercy, keep us free from all anxieties as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. For yours in the kingdom and the power and the glory now and forever. Amen.

Words of Wisdom

If we wish to make any progress in the service of God we must begin every day of our life with new eagerness. We must keep ourselves in the presence of God as much as possible and have no other view or end in all our actions but the divine honor. -- St. Charles Borromeo

Lord, what will Thou have me to do?

Here is the true token of a soul absolutely perfect: when one has succeeded in leaving behind his own will to such a degree as no longer to seek, to aim, or to desire to do what he would will, but only what God wills. -- St. Bernard

A servant is not pious if she is not industrious. -- St. Zita

Prophetic Revelation

In his life repaired the house, and in his time fortified the temple. -- Sirach 50:1

Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. -- Isaiah 52:13

And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in. -- Isaiah 58:12

It is too light a thing that you should be my servant; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth. -- Isaiah 49:6

I come to Serve . . .

"The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men (Philippians 2:5-7).

"Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you" (Mark 5:19).
