The term “service” is ripe with meaning. It is one of those words which goes way back in antiquity, having deep connotations for the commoners. It is a noun, a verb and an adjective dependent upon the Author’s intention. Its original usage surrounded servitude or slavery but there are nearly 40 different facets to this morpheme gem. How can a simple word be so deep? It is as if there are certain terms that exceed the current dimensional characteristics of speech, providing a linguistic maze each passage expanding the labyrinth.
How could this word, which on the surface appears to be a simple explanatory concept, blossom in verbal perpetuity at each contemplation? It is sufficient hint to the depth of God’s Word as the Holy Spirit continually utilizes concepts rife with depth and unfolding expression. This is a meditating man’s dream, phrases so packed with potential significance that they breed a hunger for understanding, faith and relationship. The crumbs that lead to the throne room, the clues tracing back to the designer, the path to the Maker. If you haven’t thought of how wonderful our Almighty Father is do your own study on the following three words; righteousness, service and love.
Lord I am in awe at the breadth, depth, width and length of Your grace. I look forward to sitting with You and understanding that which is currently beyond my reckoning. It is a pleasure to be in service the Creator of the universe. Praise You for all that You are. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
