“God has spoken, and His servant must obey; the happiest place on earth for him was the place where God would have him to be.”

This Sabbath, may Abraham’s story remind us that faith is not merely believing God—it is trusting Him enough to obey, even when we cannot see the whole journey ahead.

God called Abraham to leave what was familiar and step into the unknown. He did not give him every detail, but He gave him a promise.

And Abraham went.

Sometimes God’s call may lead us away from comfort, certainty, and what we have always known. Yet the safest and happiest place is not necessarily where life is easiest—it is where God wants us to be.

May we have the faith of Abraham:
to hear God’s voice, trust His promise, and obey His call.

This Sabbath, let us rest in His promises, listen for His voice, and renew our commitment to walk wherever He leads.

Because when God has spoken, His servant must obey. 🤍

What if?

He was not an apostle like Paul.

He was not one of the twelve disciples.

He was not a famous preacher whose sermons were recorded for generations.

Scripture does not tell us much about his background.

But what it does tell us reveals something powerful about the kind of person God values.

Epaphroditus was a believer from Philippi who was sent to Paul while Paul was imprisoned.

He carried a gift from the church.
He served Paul.
He worked alongside him.
And Paul called him a brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier.

𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧.

𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞.

But somewhere along the way, Epaphroditus became seriously ill.
So seriously ill that Paul says he was near death.
Imagine that.

He had left home to serve Christ and help Paul, and instead of an easy journey, he found himself fighting for his life.

Yet what makes Epaphroditus remarkable is not simply that he became sick.
It is what concerned him while he was sick.

Paul writes that Epaphroditus was distressed because the church had heard that he was ill.

𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟.

That is the heart of a servant.

Paul eventually sent him back to Philippi so that the church could rejoice at seeing him again.

And then Paul gave the church an instruction:

“𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐣𝐨𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦.”
𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝟐:𝟐𝟗

Why?

Because Epaphroditus was willing to risk his life for the work of Christ.

You may never stand behind a pulpit.
You may never lead a large ministry.
You may never have thousands of people know your name.

But you can serve faithfully.
You can carry someone else's burden.
You can show up when it is inconvenient.
You can give when nobody applauds.

You can remain faithful when the work becomes difficult.

And you can love people enough to put their needs before your own.

Epaphroditus teaches us that faithfulness is not always dramatic.

Sometimes it looks like simply doing what God has placed in front of you.
Sometimes it looks like serving while tired.
Sometimes it looks like sacrificing without recognition.
Sometimes it looks like putting others first.
And sometimes, the greatest testimony of your faith is not what you say, but what you are willing to give for Christ.

But God sees.

𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲.
𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐲.

And when the opportunity comes to serve Christ, do not ask, “Will people notice me?”

Ask,

“𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐦?”

“𝐇𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭…” — 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝟐:𝟑𝟎

God bless

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:6.

In all our ways we should acknowledge God, and He will direct our paths. We should consult His Word with humble hearts, ask His counsel, and give up our will to His. We can do nothing without God.

There is the highest reason for us to prize the true Sabbath and stand in its defense, for it is the sign which distinguishes the people of God from the world. The commandment that the world makes void is the one to which, for this very reason, God’s people will give greater honor. It is when the unbelieving cast contempt upon the Word of God that the faithful Calebs are called for. It is then that they will stand firm at the post of duty, without parade, and without swerving because of reproach. The unbelieving spies stood ready to destroy Caleb. He saw the stones in the hands of those who had brought a false report, but this did not deter him; he had a message, and he would bear it. The same spirit will be manifested today by those who are true to God.

The psalmist says, “They have made void thy law. Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold” (Psalm 119:126, 127). When men press close to the side of Jesus, when Christ is abiding in their hearts by faith, their love for the commandments of God grows stronger in proportion to the contempt which the world heaps upon His holy precepts. It is at this time that the true Sabbath must be brought before the people by both pen and voice. As the fourth commandment and those who observe it are ignored and despised, the faithful feel that it is the time not to hide their faith but to exalt the law of Jehovah by unfurling the banner on which is inscribed the message of the third angel, the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Let not those who have the truth as it is in Jesus give sanction, even by their silence, to the work of the mystery of iniquity. Let them never cease to sound the note of alarm.... The truth must not be hid, it must not be denied or disguised, but fully avowed, and boldly proclaimed.
