Service for God
1 Chronicles 29:5
The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers…


Men make a great deal of to-morrow. God always and everywhere lays stress on to-day. Day by day God supplies, and day by day He asks us to serve. In reference to this service we want to try and answer three questions.

I. WHO IS IT ASKS FOR IT?

II. WHY DOES HE WANT IT? God wishes to use men, because by this means He can bestow richer blessing upon them than He could in any other way.

III. HOW MAY WE RENDER IT?

1. By yielding your heart to Him.

2. By living an upright, consistent, unselfish life.

3. By earnest loving effort.

4. By helping and encouraging His people.

(J. D. Kilburn.)
