Serve with Gladness

Nov 11, 2025    Pastor Valerie Hooper

Reading: Psalm 100:2; 2 Samuel 6:12-16; Colossians 3:23-24


Devotional: David danced before the Lord with all his might, unconcerned with critics, because he remembered God's faithfulness. Serving God with gladness transforms ordinary tasks into extraordinary worship. Your job, your ministry, your daily responsibilities—all become offerings when done with joy. The difference between duty and delight is gratitude. When you serve grudgingly, you drain your own spirit. When you serve with gladness, you multiply joy. This week, shift your perspective: you're not just working for a paycheck or fulfilling obligations—you're serving the King of Kings. Let your service become your song. Make your workplace your sanctuary. Let gladness mark your labor.


Reflection Question: How can you turn one mundane task today into an act of joyful worship?
