1 SAMUEL 12:24 (ABP)
Revere GOD and give yourself to serving him alone -- from the depths of who you are -- without wavering. Consider all the great things he has done for you and let them drive your service.
ROMANS 12:11 (CEB)
Don’t hesitate to be enthusiastic—be on fire in the Spirit as you serve the Lord!
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Serve the Lord with enthusiasm.
PRAYER
God God, you have done so much for us. I confess that I take it all for granted and that affects the way I serve you. Stir a genuine enthusiasm in me so that I can direct others toward the great things you've done -- as I more fully appreciate them myself. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
