Who do we serve?

Yesterday the message I heard was from Isaiah 58. God is calling out the Israelites, through Isaiah, to examine their faith. Are they serving Him or are they serving themselves?

Verses 10-12 say this…
“if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.
And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. 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.”

Isn’t this true for God’s people today too? When we set Him aside and seek out what we think is best for us, things don’t turn out so well. When we go outside of ourselves and put the focus on Him and others, He brings about the greatest blessings for everyone, us included.

In many ways this group (F3) is called to repair and restore. Our mission is a call to seek out the weak, lonely, hungry, wandering, and broken. We are a light in the gloom. Invigoration is defined as giving life or energy to. That is what we do. I just passed my 3 year anniversary, on April 5, 2021. I became part of this special group right here. I’m very thankful for so many and the sacrifices you all make to come out, do what’s hard and lead and encourage others along the way. Of course, the blessings we receive from this group, or any group can vary, depending on WHO we are doing it for.

So, when you leave here today, think about who you serve and why. It doesn’t have to be something grand, but what does it look like for you to pour yourself out for others this week?

COT: Was going to share my testimony, but in preparation and prayer God wanted me to talk about Him. Was going to talk about the prodigal son and corruption, but God shared that the parable is actually about the father too. The story goes, “that when the father saw the prodigal son in the distance, he had compassion on him, ran to him, hugged and kissed him.”

Oh how I long for the day to receive that embrace and kiss. Our Father made a way to Him by sacrificing His own son, so that we are no longer slaves, but sons…also heirs. (Gal 4:4-7)

Perhaps God is calling you to Him now, and it is time to receive the Spirit of His Son inside of you so you can experience the love from the kindest and loving Father you could ever know.
