Daily Walk With God
"knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."
- Colossians 3:24 -
The apostle Paul was speaking to Christian believers.
He was speaking to the servants and slaves of Christ.
He reminded them, "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."
This saying makes Christian works and services worth doing.
This teaching makes Christian living worth having.
As Christians, we are doing a royal service for the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are to do it heartily.
We are to do it all to the glory of God.
We will receive our reward from the Lord.
But our divine services must not be only for a few hours or for a few places only.
All of our time and all that we have are for the glory of God.

Man's Greatest Need
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
Man's greatest need is religion.
Science, education, material possessions or physical pleasure can never bring ultimate satisfaction to any man.
Man's greatest need is to be brought into touch with God.
Man greatest's need is to get right with God.
But there is a problem.
God is the Creator and Sovereign of the universe.
God is holy and righteous.
God cannot even look upon sin.
But men are born away from God.
Men inherit a corrupt, fallen nature, affecting every part of their being.
Men are dead spiritually and dying physically.
Before a holy and righteous God, men are responsible for every sin that they have ever committed, guilty of deliberate disobedience.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
But there is one solution.
There is the one Savior, the man Christ Jesus.
Jesus came to save us from our sins.

To Whom Be Glory Forever
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:36)
"To whom be glory forever. Amen." This should be the single desire of all Christians.
We are not acting as we ought to do if we are moved by any other motive.
We may desire to attain more gifts and more graces, but it must only be for the glory of God.
As Christians, we are of God and through God and live to God.
Let us make God our only object.
And let our desire for God's glory be a growing desire. Let us give him more as He has given us more.
Let us praise him by stronger faith.
Let us sing more sweetly.
Let us give Him more honor.
Let us serve Him more and increase in holiness...
