Render service with enthusiasm, as to the Lord.
It has been said, "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." Your church would not
continue its ministry into this century without enthusiasm.
A minister was showing a friend around his church, and, referring to the sound system, said, "We
have a number of dead spots in this church." The clergy friend said, "So do we all, brother, so do
we all."
Enthusiasm is one attitude we can all adopt to our benefit, as we serve our master and savior.
(Ephesians 6:7
NRSV)
Do you know the derivation of the word "enthusiasm?" It literally means, "in God." When anyone
was really roused, it was assumed in ancient times that a god had possessed him. This
possession was "enthusiasm," from the Greek ENTHUSIASMOS; en theos (a god within).
Dear God, may I use the enthusiasm you have given me to make a difference today. Amen.
