I assume that as believers in we are definitely devoted to service the Lord Jesus Christ, and I make an appeal…to all here as to whether that is so. I do not presume to define what the service is. Probably that is a matter that lies between the Lord Jesus and your own souls; but that every one that belongs to Him is devoted to service, and that for ever, must go without saying; for the immensity of what Christ has done lays us under eternal obligation. Our lives, our abilities, all that we possess, must be at His feet for service…
I ask you, in regard to your service, have you waited in the presence of God? Have you a sense that He has taken you up? There are two dangers: one is to serve unintelligently, and the other is to not serve at all. There should be a sense in our hearts that God has definitely taken us up for service. It was so with Christ…there abode in His heart the secret that He was God’s Servant.
