Serving the Lord is a great opportunity for the Christian and something that should not be taken lightly. Some people "serve" to be recognized...some people serve for the right reasons~ for the Lord. I look at me life and think do I really SERVE the Lord the way I should? Am I serving Him because I know I have to? Am I serving Him in the school to get a paycheck and pay my bills? This passage really spoke to me about how I need to serve the Lord. I need to serve the Lord with reverence. I need to do everything for Him. I need to humbly bow before Him each day of my life and do what I do for the Lord...it makes life much more meaningful and my work more worth it in the end. I also need to serve with trembling. Now I do not know exactly what the writer meant by this. Trembling can mean several things. I need to serve the Lord with fear....not fear of those around me but fear of the reasons I serve perhaps? OR the first thought that came to my mind...serving the Lord with excitement! I know when I am excited about something I jump and and down, I squeal, I clap my hands. I need to serve the Lord with all the excitement that is in me.
This passage also mentioned putting my trust in God. I will be blessed when I trust God. I need to make sure I take refuge in God and lean on Him...the way to lean on Him is by "stay{ing} upon Him...by reading His Word each and every day.
