1 Samuel 12:24-25
24 But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.
25 Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will perish.

All our service, all our obedience, all our love for God should be put in this context. We do it because of the great things He has done for us. We don’t serve God so as to persuade Him to do great things for us. He has done the great things and asks us to receive them by faith. Then we serve Him because of the great things he has done for us.

We can only keep perspective in our Christian lives if we keep focused on what great things He has done for you. If we lose perspective, everything is distorted. Many people tend to magnify their problems and lose sight of what great things He has done for you.

Application

God has done great things for you. List a few and give glory to God and make a decision to serve him faithfully.
