It is worth it
Have you ever asked the question – Is serving God really worth it? I know that I’ve certainly done that in my life and my guess is that most of you have done that at some point in your life as well.
You do the very best you know how to apply Biblical principles with your finances. You give the first portion of your earnings to God every single time. You don’t borrow money to buy things that you don’t really need. You carefully budget your money and yet, it seems that you barely are able to make ends meet. Then you think of your friend who always complains that he is up to his eyeballs in debt. But he is driving a fancy new car, his family goes out to eat at expensive restaurants all the time and they take an lavish vacation every year. Aren’t you at least tempted to think, “Is it really worth it to serve God?” Maybe you’ve been involved in just about every ministry in the church and have always served God just as faithfully as you know how, but you still can’t get pregnant or you have a miscarriage, or your child is born with serious health issues or someone in your family gets cancer. While the family next door who wants nothing at all to do with God has a perfectly healthy family. In that situation, it’s only natural to ask if serving God is really worth it.The reward is great for those who are willing to meekly and patiently suffer and be persecuted for righteousness sake. This is our time of trial. Will we be faithful or will we forsake God when things don’t go our way? No matter what, serving God is worth it, there’s an eternal reward that awaits those who persevere till the end.
