| With Gladness |
| I was staying in a home over Thanksgiving weekend and there was a new text hanging in the living room. |
| “Serve the Lord with gladness” (Psalm 100:2). |
| This statement of Scripture, which I have read many times, really struck me. The Lord loves our service, but not begrudgingly, not with sadness, not because we feel we have to, but rather with “gladness.” Whatever we do for Him should be done out of a full heart with a joyful, happy attitude. |
| Here is further instruction as to how we are to serve Him: |
| “Serve Him in sincerity and in truth” (Joshua 24:14). |
| “Serve the Lord with all your heart” (1 Samuel 12:20). |
| “Serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind” (1 Chronicles 28:9). |
| “Serving the Lord with all humility of mind”(Acts 20:19). |
| “Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart” (Ephesians 6:6). |
