Works of Service

Scripture: Ephesians 4: [12] to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

Observation: God has prepared me for works of service, but am I doing them. He allows me choice so do I choose to look at my own desires or the needs of others? God will equip me, but not force me. I wish He would force me.

Application: Look for opportunities to serve instead of avoiding them. Be quiet when I pray so that I may hear God’s voice guiding me in what He wants of me.

Prayer: Dear Lord please take this laziness away and stop my excuses to do nothing. Open the doors for me to serve others in your name, to use the gifts and talents you have given me so they don’t go to waste.
