FAITH CAPSULE: Serving God reasonably is living a life of commitment to God.

Exodus 3:13-22

God called on Moses, assigned him as agent of God for the deliverance of the Israelites. The command to bring them out is for them to come out of bondage and serve God. God spoke to Moses in Exodus 3:18, “Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, ‘The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’” Evidently, serving God is a sacrifice. Engaging sacrifice is serving serve God. All through the encounters of Moses with Pharaoh was a striking message of letting the people go and serve (sacrifice) God. By the hand of God through Moses the children of Israel were brought out of bondage of over four hundred years. Coming out of the Israelites from the bondage of over four hundred years is their deliverance. Like the Israelites, deliverance of believers today is coming out of the bondage of sin and iniquities by the blood of Jesus Christ. Each and every believer is to live a life of serving God must be a reasonable service (sacrifice) to God.
The grace of salvation is to enable believers to be consistent in walking with God.
God is a God with good plans for His children who will serve Him in all of their walks.
As a believer, you have not been redeemed to serve or sacrifice to the god of this world. The children of Israel eventually gained freedom from the house of bondage (Egypt), but they entered into self-bondage in their journey. They failed in their service and could not pass unto the promise of God. How are you living a life of sacrifice? It is not enough that you have come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus. You also need to begin to live a life of sacrifice, serving the Lord God reasonably. Serving God reasonably is living a life of commitment to God not serving to God at convenience.
In serving God, a high standard of a reasonable service should be in place. Those who serve Him reasonably seek Him diligently because seeking Him diligently is the evidence of a faithful believer not serving God as unbelieving believer. God attends to those who seek Him diligently with reward. Hebrews 11:6 buttressed, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” As a believer, commit to God with reasonable sacrifice that cost you and He will return unto you with a priceless blessing.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace that enables man to be serving God reasonably.
