TEXT: EPHESIANS
6:1-9
[1] Children, obey your
parents in the Lord, for this is right.
[2] “Honor your father
and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
[3] “so that it may go
well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
[4] Fathers, do not
exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and
instruction of the Lord.
[5] Slaves, obey your
earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you
would obey Christ.
[6] Obey them not only to
win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the
will of God from your heart.
[7] Serve wholeheartedly,
as if you were serving the Lord, not people,
[8] because you know that
the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave
or free.
[9] And masters, treat
your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who
is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with
him.
(New International
Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC: INDIVIDUALS'
DUTIES UNTO GOD
Today's
devotional opens our minds to the fact that every individual has
responsibilities unto God. Whether as a child, parent, servant, or master; each
is called to serve as if serving Christ:
Children
are enjoined to obey their parents because it is right and a commandment from
God with a divine promise (vs.1-3; Col. 3:20).
Parents
should not provoke their children but bring them up in the training and
instructions of the Lord (vs.4).
Wholehearted
service is essential, knowing that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever
good they do, whether slave or free.
QUESTION: Have you been carrying your duty in the space you
occupy with an eye for service to humanity?
PRAYER: Let my service, wherever I am placed, be as unto
serving God, dear Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen!
Remain
Blessed
