Joy in Serving Jesus – Romans 15:13
” Joy in Serving Jesus”
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of
the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:13
Go ahead and get in hot pursuit of wealth, your will, your
happiness, your program, your life; and I promise, you’re
going to lose it all. You’ll weep because you squandered it. Or
you can get in hot pursuit of the will of God. God’s program is
His will for your life. Get so consumed with His cause that
you just kind of lose yourself in it, and if you lose yourself in it,
you’ll find joy. Though there are some things to endure, you’ll
find joy.
Joy is one thing that gives us endurance. If I have joy, I can
endure. These long-faced Christians don’t ever accomplish
anything. They can’t endure anything because they have no
joy. They have no joy because they’re pursuing their own will.
They’re not lost in a cause. You will find your life if you will
lose it in the cause of Christ.
Today you and I need to decide, “I’m not going to find my
will and lose everything. I am going to get in hot pursuit of the
will of God and get consumed with doing God’s will. I’m
going to put my concentration so heavily on God’s program,
that I lose my program in His.” If you’ll do that, you won’t
want for joy. I guarantee you, the life that God has planned for
you is far better than one you have planned for yourself. You’ll
never find His will until you lose yours. – D.C.
