FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> God is a rewarder not a slave master.<\/p>\n

Exodus 10<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

God alone is God. God is a perfect creator. Revelation 4:11<\/em><\/strong> stated, \u201cYou are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Day after days; week after weeks; month after months; year after years God alone exists. God has been before the creation and He will forever be. God is a purpose God. He created man to serve Him. God expect man to serve Him.
\nThe Israelites were in the bondage of over four hundred years. Serving outside of God became their portion as they built for Pharaoh. Exodus 1:13-14<\/em><\/strong> mentioned, \u201cSo the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor. 14\u00a0<\/sup>And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage\u2014in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d Evidently, the Israelites were not able to serve God; living life in bitterness with hard bondage took over the Israelites. Before any situation, in any form of situation, God deserves to be served. For the Israelites in bondage, God demanded for their service through Moses. God requested, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But if you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your firstborn.\u201d (Exodus 4:23)<\/em><\/strong> God repeatedly sent Moses to Pharaoh, \u201cAnd you shall say to him, \u2018The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, \u201cLet My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness\u201d (Exodus 7:16)<\/em><\/strong> God\u2019s emphasis for the Israelites\u2019 service in the bondage is not different of calling for man to serve Him today.
\nHow is your service to God?
\nMan that does not love the Lord cannot serve Him. Also, if man does not serve Him, man cannot love Him. Deuteronomy 6:5, \u201cYou shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Do you love God? Are you serving God? Serving God is working the works of God. Working the works of God is to believe in Him. Jesus said it, \u201cThis is the work of God that you believe in Him whom He sent.\u201d (John 6:29)
\n<\/em><\/strong>God is a rewarder. Working the works of God is taking a position to be rewarded by God. Evidently, God is a rewarder of worker as stated, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.\u201d (Hebrews 11:6)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Give your God given days to serve God. He is jealous God. God is not a slave master but a saving master.<\/p>\n

Prayer for the day:<\/strong> Ask for the grace to serve God and live life for the glory of God.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
