Do It For God

Do It For God
Today's devotional is brought to you by Dr. Adrian Rogers, Love Worth Finding


"Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." Romans 12:17-18

A certain minister served a church for many years, then one day the church asked him to leave. He was talking to another preacher friend and he said, "What they did to me was dirty. After all I did for them and they have treated me this way."

The friend who was sharing this conversation said, "It's a shame he didn't do it for God." Whatever area you are serving in, don't do it for people. Serve the Lord.

If you do right, people may mistreat you, but what difference does it make if you are serving the Lord? God will prove Himself faithful and will reward you for your obedience. Don't bow to bitterness. Tell God what has happened. Let Him deal with it in His time. He'll take care of it.

Do something extraordinary for a stranger this week. Do it as a fragrant offering of love to God
