Lord,
You're calling us to serve You. We're to serve You in the world. Before
we can serve You in the world, there must be this: "ministering in the
House of the Lord" (1 Chronicles 26:12). Part of our worship involves
the dedication of "gifts for the maintenance of the House of the Lord"
(1 Chronicles 26:12). When we're worshipping You in Your House, when
we're supporting the work that is centred on Your House, help us to
remember this: When our service of worship ends, our service in the
world begins. Help us, Lord, to offer our whole life to You - not just
the 'religious' part of it. Help us to serve You every day of the week.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
