...That They May Serve Me!

I wrote the other day about What Are You Bound By and I would like to continue with that theme a bit today.  As I wrote the other day, there is no reason to be bound by the enemy (Satan) because God has given all believers a higher authority to appeal to.  We may not get instant relief but God has promised us the we will get it eventually. 

How can we be sure?  Because it is God's plan.  How do I know it is part of God's plan?  Take a look at this passage.

Exodus 8:1(NKJV)

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me. 

I'm going to use the whole Exodus thing as my metaphorical example.  God's people were bound by Pharaoh in Egypt.  They appealed to a higher authority, God.  God sent Moses to Pharaoh to tell Pharaoh to let the people go.  But there was more to it than that.  Why did God want Pharaoh to let the people go?  "...that they may serve me!"

Folks, that is how you can be so sure that God will deliver you.  So that you can serve him!  Notice that even with God in the picture it took a while to get Pharaoh to let His People go, so don't be surprised if it's not instant gratification.  Just take comfort in the fact that you KNOW it will happen. 

"…that they may serve me."

How are we to serve him?  In any way that He calls us to serve.  But one of the most effective ways is to just simply share what God has done in our lives.  You don't have to be a great giver of speeches.  You don't have to be Billy Bible (I once had a lady call me that in Sunday School.  LOL) who has the whole book memorized.  You just have to simply share your faith.  Want proof?  Watch this 3 minute video!
