FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Serving God is not in title but engaging task for God.<\/p>\n

Exodus 3<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

God created man to serve Him. God is the One and only creator of man, He is a jealous God and the antidote for jealous is attention. Man should give attention to God by serving God diligently. God wants man to serve Him but not to stay away from Him continually.
\nGod said in Exodus 7:16, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>And 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; but indeed, until now you would not hear!\u201d Exodus 8:1, \u201cAnd the Lord spoke to Moses, \u201cGo to Pharaoh and say to him, \u2018Thus says the Lord: \u201cLet My people go, that they may serve Me.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Serving God is to be seeking God. To be seeking God is to be seeing Him (seeing God is not by physical eyes but to receive from Him) Among ways of serving God are: Living life to please Him; to be separated from sin; to be praying to God continually.
\nServing Him is to be living life to please Him but not pleasing the world around man. Enoch pleased God as Hebrews 11:5-6 <\/em><\/strong>recorded, \u201cBy faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, \u201cand was not found, because God had taken him\u201d; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.\u00a0<\/sup>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. Serving God is seeking God.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Please God and reap the reward of pleasing God as it is written, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>When a man\u2019s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. (Proverbs 16:7)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Serving God demands man\u2019s separation from sin because with sin man cannot see God. 3 John 1:11, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.\u201d Romans 3:23, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Sin is not of God, sin is not serving God.
\nServing God is seeking God in prayer continually and it is to maintain constant communication with God. Daniel was praying and giving thanks to God three times a day as his custom since his early days. (Daniel 6:10) While Daniel\u2019s life was attempted by being placed in the den of lions overnight, King that does not know God called out to Daniel as stated in Daniel 6:20, \u201cAnd when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, \u201cDaniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>Daniel served God praying continually before God and no evil could touch his life. Serve God to live life to the glory of God.<\/p>\n
