As we continue into the fall with our discipleship series, Deep Calls to Deep, we are reflecting on aspects of our discipleship and asking the Lord to grow us deeper in our love for Him and others.
Did you grow up in a household where you had daily chores? Perhaps, you were on dishwashing duty with your brother and sister two to three times a week. Or it was your task to take the trash out regularly. I remember when I lived next door to my cousins, they lived in a rural area in SW Little Rock when it was safe to burn their trash. It was their chore. We would meet outside in the evening at dusk and burn the trash together. It was a weekly chore. Someone had to do it.
I grew up having to help keep the bathrooms clean. And make sure my bed was made daily.
Life in church is like our home life. We all need to chip in to help serve in various ways not only on specific committees, but also around the Lord’s house. I believe Samuel as a young boy helped take care of God’s house at a very young age; things like turning out the lights, locking things up, sweeping the floors and taking out the trash. He was probably one of the first “altar boys” in the Bible. You may read some of his story in the book of 1 Samuel.
This week let us talk about following Jesus in the way of serving. Perhaps we may think the small tasks we do in the church aren’t that significant to the Lord and His kingdom. Perhaps everything we do in obedience to Him is a big deal in His eyes even having kingdom impact when we least expect it. One thing is for sure; a disciple serves.
