The Master You Serve

"So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.”

GALATIANS 5:1

Many Christians today feel their role is to be busy - to work hard and honor the Lord when not to occupied. The truth is Jesus Christ. He is freedom. He is alive. He overcame the world - in him - so can you. We are here to be God's people - for his will. Dominate your life in Jesus - not money. Jesus is God - the Giver of life. 

Be careful not to prepare yourself a life that distracts you from seeking God first. The focus of many becomes the work and the yoke of the daily task without God as the central focus becomes too great. Freedom ceases as you become dependent and reliant on performing tasks for people. On the contrary, when the focus is first on the Kingdom of God and serving him - the one who creates life - your life will be full and free as if a child. 

We do not always know the path for which God has chosen us to be molded, so whatever the work the Lord has placed in front of you, do it with vigor and all your strength as it is the Lord that you are serving. 

The Lord is found in the little breadcrumbs he displays throughout each day. These breadcrumbs are reassuring as they let me know that I am in fact on the Lord’s path. The breadcrumbs are not always easy to find, so you must seek them. You must seek the Lord Jesus. You must look for the him in each situation. He is there, so look until you find him and when you find him, he provides the bread to sustain you as you continue to walk in The Way.
