May 21, Daily Scripture

"Therefor I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and living through all."

       - Ephesians 4:1-6

One of the things that just completely amazes me about God's word is that it all intertwines with itself and everything that is holy.  You can get so much out of every sentence in the Bible. For example, in verse 1, Paul is talking about being a prisoner for the Lord and living the life that you are called to live by God.  Jesus talks about how slaves should obey there masters as if working for the Lord.  We are all slaves to Christ when we are saved by Him.  We give our lives over to Him, but don't think of it in a bad way, you are privileged to be God's worker.  It is a joy to be God's servant, and when we are living the way we should be its so clear and so simple.
