Joshua 22: 5, “…Love the Lord and follow His plan for your lives. Cling to him and serve him enthusiastically.”
How can we set ourselves up for the wonder, bounty, and overflowing blessings that come from Holy God? The answer is found in this one verse. Our call is not to work or serve first. Ours is to love the God who created us and gave us life. Ours is to take time getting to know this wonderful, amazing God who loves you more that you could love yourselves a million times over. Ours is to listen to Him speak through His Word to our lives today, and each and every day. As you grow in love for the Lord, you will find a life that is filled with joy, and packed with opportunities that He brings by your life. You will find God opening doors for your life that only He could bring to pass. Don’t try to work for God first. Don’t try to be religious first. First, grow in love for the One who wants His eternal best for your life. You will be blessed and all that you touch will be blessed. Then a life of service will be a joy, and the most wonderful thing in the world.
