Service

The systems of the world are built around power and control. Nations go to war to gain land, resources, and domination. Organizations intimidate opponents to manipulate and wield their authority. Individuals demonstrate their influence over others to show who’s the boss. Jesus, however, turned the tables.

What does a man gain by engaging in work? What benefits come from marketing, sales, owning a business, designing processes, and making products? Not much! That’s Solomon’s “under-the-sun” perspective. A generation works until they die, followed by the next generation that does the same thing.

This song celebrates the coming of Jesus, the promised Messiah.

The rewards are given to those willing to serve wherever and whenever they are needed.

Every act of service is significant to God. 

Spiritual service does not include spiritual swagger.

Repentance is more than lip service.

He looks deeply into the heart and sees our motives and intentions. And when He sees a true servant, He smiles.

Let us remember that every act of service is significant to God.
