What kind of service does God bless? Throughout the 58th chapter of Isaiah, the Lord reminds us that self-centered service that is motivated by utilitarian interests will result in the oppression of others and will ultimately fail to secure God's blessing. It is only when we forget ourselves and labor for the benefit of others that God will bless us. If our service is self-centered, then God will not bless us; but if our service is others-centered, then God will certainly and abundantly bless us.
