SCRIPTURE: Galatians (NIV) 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
OBSERVATION: WHAT A CHANGE: from being a slave to sin, to being a son of God! From serving sin because I was in bondage, to serving God because I love Him. And I love Him because He first loved me!
APPLICATION: I do not have to serve God—I get to serve God. It is my privilege to serve Him. It is my pleasure!
Because I love Him, I consider myself His servant.
Because He loves me, He considers me His son!
Because I love Him and see myself as His servant, I serve Him joyfully.
Because He loves me and considers me His son, He makes me His heir!
He is always outdoing me! That’s just the way He is!
SOAP Reader: I trust you have found the joy of belonging to the LORD and serving Him out of joy. He is so worthy; He should never need to twist our arms to serve Him. We should serve Him willingly and joyfully. We should consider it our pleasure to be asked to do something for Him.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I am your creation. I am your child. I am your friend. I am your servant. I am your son. I am your heir. I am blest! May you be glad that I call you my Father. May I bring joy to your heart and a smile to your face! Amen
