I am a worshipper and I cannot understand how people just take our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for granted. This spirit is another one of the enemies tactics and you can only recognize it through discernment of the Holy Spirit. Yes we serve him by committing our talents, time and treasure. We show adoration through our praise and worship!

thanks for the reminder, Chip! recently our pastor in our small gathering, quoted President Kennedy’s “its what can YOU do for your country?” and qualified it by saying “its not what you can GET out of church but what can you GIVE to the gathering to help WORSHIP and Lord [and look for His needs] Many thanks.

We need to wash each others feet. Jesus offered to wash Peter’s feet, Peter said. No you can’t wash my feet. Jesus said. If I can’t wash your feet you are not with me.” What I am doing you do not know now but afterwards you will understand.” John13:7. Peter said. In that case wash my whole body, Jesus said. Your body is been well washed except feet. Why feet only to be washed? When we go to somebody’s house we shake the dust of our feet outside the house. We do not want to take the dust in their house. The dust of This World have to be washed. Jesus said. He who receive you receive me and he who rejects you rejects me when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them.

I personally am amazed that the Lord would be so interested in me that I wish to give to him my time and my hands, or skills to do something for him.

As Sharon says, we can hear messages given but in the wrong heart attitude, and she is right. I too like Chip have sat in church only to find that church is having a ball but Jesus’s needs have been forgotten.

Ministering to the Lord is such a precious privilege and I for one pray that I am always aware of His desires.

LeAnn,

Thanks so much for your encouraging word! I believe that my interpretation is true… I know that we are to be patient in giving God time to work out his plans for us, but I do not think we are to be stagnant during that time. We are to use the time wisely and continue doing those things that God calls us to do each day…that is “waiting” on the Lord as a waiter waits on tables, serving those whom he has be hired to care for. That involves active ministry to those needs we see around us. As we remain faithful in serving others, God is working and we are strengthened and the time goes by and then we see God’s answers unfolding in our lives. Blessings to you, my dear sister!

Claire, I have a friend who has broken her back and is in constent pain. She finds that when the Lord brings someone along who needs ministering to that as she ministers the word to them her strength is renewed. She says the Lord exchanges His strength for hers. She soon forgets the pain she is in! I definately think you are on to the right interpretation of the scripture!!
