Wow, I am humbled to think that this was also directed at slaves. Even in their bondage, they were told to give it everything they had, because it was not for their earthly masters, but for a heavenly one. We are so quick in the US, to think we are deserving of everything. “Thank you Lord, to remind us of who we serve. You are the perfect Master, who rewards us perfectly.”
God removes all things in the believer’s life that would hinder fruit-bearing, i.e., He chastises to cut away sin and hindrances that would drain spiritual life just as the farmer removes anything on the branches that keep them from bearing maximum fruit ( Heb 12:3–11 ).
Let us be filled with your Holy Spirit Lord, each and every day. May we have Peace, as the next verse in verse 27 promises. Nothing can separate us from your Love!
EVERYONE, not just some people we like! I am guilty Lord, of not seeing that all people need to know you through your son, Jesus. It is not my place to choose. Forgive me. Father, fill us with you spirit, that we might represent you boldly, that many might come to know you.
