To serve the Lord means:
1. To devote your efforts to the Lord.
Acts 20:28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
2. To contribute your efforts
Luke 8:1-3
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
3. To become a shepherd
John 21:15
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
1 Peter 5:1-3
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

1. We need to serve God with joyfulness and gladness of heart
Deuteronomy 28:47
Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
God is the only one who gives us more than we bring to Him.
Psalms 100:2
Serve the Lord with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.
Psalms 100:1
A Psalm of praise.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Noise is any sound that is out of place. But God asks us to make a joyful noise. God is not looking for perfection, He is looking for the joy that we attach to what we're doing. The attitude with what you're offering what you're offering is more important than you're offering.
Gods ability to hear sound goes beyond what we can understand as humans. God can receive praise from even stones.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2. Consistency
Daniel 6:16
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
3. Serve God with humility of mind and in tears
