'For God, For Master And For Family.'
Exodus 21:4-6.
a) Exodus 21:4. If his master gives him a wife while he was a slave and they had sons or daughters, then only the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master.
b) Exodus 21:5. But the slave may declare: "I love my master, my wife and my children. I don't want to go free."
c) Exodus 21:6. If the slave does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door or doorpost and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will serve his master for life.
(This QT teaches me about serving: For God, For Master And For Family)
PRAY: For ourselves that, if possible, we will be good servants for God, for master and for family.

Becoming a servant for life was a very meaningful thing in the days of the Bible, it meant that the servant served their master for life. It is actually, also, an excellent type of the place of the True Believer who serves God. This serving God, in whatever form the service takes, is truly a lifetime thing.
