The other day my wife had a minor operation done. We went to the new Erlanger East hospital to have it done. Her doctor, a Christian woman, did a great job. We were in and out in a matter of a few hours. Afterward my wife had no post-surgery eating restrictions. So, we immediately turned the car toward Chick-fil-A. The service there was, as always, excellent. There were no less than 20 cars in the drive-thru the whole time we were there, but we had our food promptly.
As I thought back over this experience I asked myself, how often do we think about Christ’s satisfaction with our service? Just as I was satisfied by the service my wife and I were given, the Lord should be satisfied with what we do for Him.
As you serve in the church, and minister to your family, consider the quality of service you provide to the Lord. Will you serve with highly educated and professional deportment like my wife’s doctor and hospital support staff? Will your ‘customer service’ match with what we experienced at Chick-fil-A? The Lord God is far more than a Divine Customer. But we should consider the quality of our service to Him above all else.

Amen and Amen! This devotion so matches the sermon I heard just last evening, “And the People Heard” by a missionary. (Acts 16) What are people “hearing” from us in our service to God.
