CRUX Daily: You Got To Serve Somebody
Read: 1 Kings 18:20-21, Joshua 25:15, Matthew 6:24
Reflect: The Bible is very clear that we can only serve(worship) one God. If we try to serve the one true God of the Bible and something else we will fail to be like Jesus. Who do you serve? Is there anything else in your life that you hold as more valuable than your relationship with God? What are they?
Request (prayer): Lord, take away anything from me that takes Your place in my life. Help me to serve You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
It’s been said before by a musician, “You’ve got to serve somebody.” Yes this is in fact entirely true. You do have to serve somebody/something.
Did you know that even atheists serve something or someone?
The most devout skeptic is the most devout believer. What do I mean by that? I mean that even someone who does not believe in any gods, or the true God, even they serve something. Whether it be money, cars, possessions, women, men or whatever, we all serve something or someone.
Question. What do you serve? A better question would be, what do you spend most of your time doing? Do you use most of your time each day playing video games? Watching TV? Hanging out at the mall? Texting? Anything that takes the place of God is an idol. Do you spend more time doing other things than you do hanging out with God? If that’s the case then you have allowed that thing to become “god ” in your life.
God wants our attention and he wants us to worship Him alone! Do you take time to sit down and hang out with God? Or do you speed-read through your Bible and close it up and go on with your day? Whatever you serve is your master. If you serve video games, then it is your master. If you serve your friends then they are your master. If you serve God then He is your Master. Choose this day whom you will serve and do it whole-heartedly. Just know this, if you decide to serve something other than God, you will find yourself incomplete in life and you will be unsatisfied. But if you choose to follow Him, He promises that He will make you complete.
