Serving God

"Whoever adheres to God's Word and does what God has commanded him in his calling is adorned with divine adornment, yes, is adorned with God himself.  For this reason there is nothing more beautiful than serving God, that is, doing according to God's Word and command.  In short, it is wisdom and power at its highest, to know how one ought to serve God, and with faith in Christ to do according to God's Word and will, and ever to be found in such precious adornment.  May our dear God and Father help us to achieve this through Christ our Lord.  Amen." 

Luther on Matthew 6:24-34, 1532.
