Serve God Where You Are
SEPTEMBER 4, 2026
Daily Reading—Psa. 138-143 / 1 Co. 9
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
1 Corinthians 7:23-24 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
I see two areas of concern with those wishing to serve the Lord. First, there are those people who fear the idea of change. They are afraid that if they totally surrender to the Lord, they will end up being a missionary in Antarctica. On the other hand, there are some who, immediately after accepting Christ, want to Pastor a megachurch and change the world.
The answer to both would be the same. Serve where you are. Do not worry about leaving unless God directs your path. Serve in the area where you accepted Christ. God does not call everyone to leave, nor does He call everyone to stay. He does, however, call everyone to serve.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Isn’t there something you can do for the Lord right where you are today?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
