Are You Excited To Serve The Lord?


Luke 15:4-7
 4What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
 5And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
 6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
 7I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

I just want to praise God because this is something to be excited about!  The scripture says that "joy shall be in heaven".  Imagine the joy in heaven...the angels singing...the Lord smiling down...that is something to be excited about. 


Zephaniah 3:17
 17The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

Luke 15:8-10
 8Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
 9And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
 10Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

This scripture says that "there is joy in the presence of the angels of God".  When I read this, I new why I was so excited to go out evangelizing!  I was excited because I could feel the presence of God when we were sharing the word...he was upon us...he was smiling...he was excited.  And that is something we should also be excited about!

Isaiah 12:2-4

 2Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
 3Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
 4And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.


How wonderful and exciting it is that God has chosen us to serve him.


Please share...why are you excited to serve the Lord?
