Servants of God

Rev 22:3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him

You say Father, that your “servants” will serve you. In Rev 19:10 the angel speaking to John calls himself
“a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus”. So believers are servants with the angels. If we are called “servants” in heaven then serving You when we come home to You, will be complete fulfillment for us.

But also in Galatians 5:13 Paul encourages believers to ..."through love serve one another." You do call Your children to “serve” You here right now on this earth. When a believer is centered in Your will, we are serving Your plans and purposes.

Here on earth there is sin and struggle. We find it difficult and struggle not only in discerning Your will but doing what You are asking of us. Sometimes because of fear, embarrassment, laziness, etc. we hesitate and selfishly talk ourselves out of what we know we should do. We are weak! I am thankful my strength lies in You! Eph 6:10 Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.

At home with You and all the heavenly host, serving You by doing Your will is how we will live moment by moment forever and ever! It will be our joy, our deep desire, our way of life and delight!

You have brought to my mind that it needs to be the same NOW in our life; practicing the servant hood of Christ, knowing that is our future. Yielding to your will and serving others for their best interests is something we truly need to remember!

But Father, it is not a matter of simply remembering; it is a matter of a change of heart through the working of Your deep and marvelous Grace. To grow to “be” a servant so that serving comes from a transformed heart and becomes a real part of who I am, by the working of the Holy Spirit.

So much to learn! Thank you for seeing me with eyes of infinite love and mercy.
Thank You that I am perfectly acceptable to You today; You look at Your children and Your love envelopes us and brings hope and promise to our weary hearts.

Hebrews 12:1….and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross , despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
