Serving our gracious God with all that we are and all that we have … it’s something that sometimes feels like a burden or obligation. Sometimes we think of a life of service as a life sentence. But it isn’t—and it also is. Today God lays before us an opportunity, rather than a punishment, to serve him and serve others. A life of service is an opportunity to live out our praise and thanksgiving to our God.
