What profit is it.

"Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts? And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered" (Malachi 3:14, 15 KJV). Some may say that it's in vain to serve the Lord our God, Jesus Christ. Some may ask, why we are so extreme for Jesus Christ whom we do not even see. They will say, look at the rich man who does not serve God and how prosperous he is. This sounds like many today who have no clue who Christ really is. They consider the proud and the ignorant as being happy and having favor, yet the Lord has a plan. The Lord sees them exalted, yes, by their own works in their own strength and sweat. But what does eternity look like for them? The Lord hears those who fear Him. He has a book of remembrance of those who reverence and worshipful fear Him. God says of them, they shall be mine and I will openly declare them as being my jewels. He says they shall be spared as a father spares his own son. So, ask yourself, if it is really useless to serve God. Those who do serve Him have eternity in heaven with Him. Don't let the world take your heart from your inheritance that God the Father has for you. God bless you. Amen.
