Dear frens,

today..when God searches your deeds and actions, will your service be one that is unto God, or one that is unto men?

Many Christians have a distorted view of service unto God. They feel that it is only right that they adhere to the expectations of others, especially in the context of ministry, because they are "serving God". However, in fact, they are serving men.

Jesus, in His earthly ministry, did not do what men wanted him to do (in the case of Lazarus, he waited till Lazarus had died before going to the home of Lazarus, despite- I believe, many people's persistence. He waited because He listened to His Father, whom will be glorified when Jesus resurrect Lazarus.)

True service to God involves listening to the voice of God. How can you serve someone if you don't listen to Him? If you do, your service is merely doing the things that you feel must be done, and not what God actually intended for you to do. Then, that service is not unto God, it may be that it is unto men.

"Choose you this day, whom you shall serve...but for me and my household, we shall serve the Lord."

Whom are you serving today?..God or men?
