Blessed to Serve

Recently I had a squabble with my husband about housecleaning. I was wrong and I regret my foolishness. Later that day I read Psalm 100 and found God’s council to address even this! God instructs me to serve him with gladness, not with complaints. Our Maker has given each of us many earthly blessings, but tasks and responsibilities are part of those blessings. God tells me repeatedly, through hearing his Word, that he is near. He is beside me as I serve him in big or small tasks. The Holy Spirit enlightens me with an attitude of gladness and thanksgiving when I work throughout the day, serving the Lord and his people everywhere.
