honorable, I will be set apart
and useful to the Master of the
house, God.
Here are two takeaways for
you today:
First, if you want to be On-
esimus, useful to God, you
can be - but you have to make
the decision to separate from
anything dishonorable. This
means taking time to pray
and ask God to reveal any
thing dishonorable in your life
and heart, and then repent of
it - turn from it and leave it
behind. Maybe God has even
already shown you what is dis
honorable to Him in your life
that you need to separate from
- but you haven't dealt with it,
separated from it.
While this is going on, maybe
you are wondering why God
won’t use you in a certain
way, or answer a certain desire
or goal in your heart. One of
my son’s responsibilities is to
put a trash bag in the trash can
after I take out the trash. If he
comes to me and asks to jump
on the trampoline, or go out
side to play, without putting a
new trash bag in the trash can.
my answer will be “No. Go
and do the thing I asked you
to do first, and then we can
talk about what’s next.” God
sometimes tells us the same
thing - “Go and do the thing
I told you to do first, then we
can talk about what’s next.”
Second, being Onesimus
means serving with sincerity
in my heart. It means having
an understanding from my
heart that whoever and what
ever I am serving, I am ulti
mately serving Jesus. Slave or
free, young or old, employee
or boss, bad paying job or
good paying job - I will work
with sincerity in my heart and
Jesus on my mind! I want to be
Onesimus!
Let’s pray, “Father, please
show me if there is anything
dishonorable in my heart and
life. Help me to agree with
what you show me and sepa
rate from it through repen
tance. I want to turn from it
and leave it behind. Please
make me useful to you -1 want
to be Onesimus. Give me a
sincere heart and help me to
remember that whatever I do,
it is done for Jesus. In Jesus’s
name. Amen.”
