Intentional service...

When I think of service the picture that immediately comes to mind is Downton Abbey. In this programme we find Lord and Lady Grantham who have a very large house with a staff of servants. When watching this programme we see the servants doing everything for the aristocracy - from feeding them to cleaning for them, from washing their clothes to dressing them in their clothes. They serve all the needs of the Grantham family.
But what is service to God? Our service to God is our devotion to him. I believe it's not necessarily about the things we do, although they are important, instead I consider how I live to be my service to God.
How am I going to live intentionally today? How devoted to God am I today in the things I do and the things I say? I want everything I do, say and think to be an act of service to my God and king. I know I won't always get it right, but I know if I trust in Jesus and ask the Holy Spirit to guide me that I will become more devoted to God.
Why not ask Jesus to help you in your service of God today? Why not ask the Holy Spirit to guide you through your quiet moments with God today so that you can become more devoted to your heavenly Father too.
Dear God, help me to be devoted to you today. Holy Spirit, fill me with your power so that I can serve you in every aspect of my life. Lord Jesus, help those who read this to come closer to you today. Amen
