I love the challenge.  It’s one of the greatest joys of my life, but does it fill the deepest wants and desires of my heart?  Absolutely not.

From Ecclesiastes 2:11:  “Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had spent in doing it, and again, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.”

Scottie Scheffler (born 1996) is an American professional golfer.  He has often given testaments that his Christian faith is more important than his golf career.  This quote came from an interview with Scheffler.

Called to Serve

Each sister, each brother

Walking with Christ, our Lord

Supporting one another

With grace, arriving on board

 

Faith immersed in Christ’s Word

Trusting always His light

Revealing peace to be heard

Enemy’s darkness takes flight

 

Christ, faith’s firm foundation

Transforming every stone

Building path to salvation

Filled with hope, never alone

 

Believers marching on

Following in Christ’s steps

Witnessing Heaven’s fate drawn

Mercy knocks at each doorstep

 

Each sister, each brother

Sharing Christ’s Living Bread

Accepting one another

Called to serve with truth now fed

When God gives a vision of truth, it is never a question of what He will do, but of what we will do.

From Joshua 24:15:  “Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
