Render service with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not to men and women.
Let's be "The Enthusiasts."
(Ephesians 6.7
NRSV)
One of the nick-names given to the early Methodists was "The Enthusiasts." It was not
intended to be a compliment. They were looked upon as being weirdos. Imagine, people who
sought to live their lives completely under the direction of the Holy Spirit! But the word
"enthusiasm" comes from two Greek words "en theos," meaning "in God." What would our lives
look like if they were lived "en theos," "in God?" I daresay there would be more joy and power
to them.
Dear God, help me to live in you. Amen.
