I Served The Lord...

Hey guys! How's school? Any of you feeling intimidated by the coming year? Or maybe some of you aren't focused on school at all because of other life matters; I can't know. I do, however, have some inspirational words for each of you from a man named Paul...

"I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, although I was severely tested by the plots of the Jews." ~Paul (Acts 20:19)

You know already that Paul was an amazing follower of Jesus Christ and he was a great leader to God's people... us. Surely you also know that his life was filled with trials that caused his heart to wring with pain. Among those trials was the many plots against him by the Jews; enough to humble him greatly and bring him to tears. But, look what he boasts despite all of that:

"I served the Lord..."

Understand something; Satan is making many plots against you and I as well. It is not just a mere coincidence if you are going thru a time of pain right now. Though trials come into our lives for various reasons, there is one thing we can be sure of; we have the honor and responsibility of serving God through whatever may come at us. I don't know about you, but I long to be able to say,

"I served the Lord...although I was severely tested..."

And if you're looking for peace and joy through those trials, you should grab your bible and study the lives of the people in it; especially those who served God. See what God does for His servants...
