Serving By Faith

Scripture: 1 Timothy 3 [13] Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.

Observation: I’ve served but did I serve well? I believe serving well is serving with your heart and with the love of Jesus. To be a servant who desires to serve not because you have to but because you want to. When people see that type of serving they can see your faith in Jesus.

Application: Start serving because it honors God not just to do something because I feel I have to or should. Remember why I’m serving and go out not to impress others but to point them to my source of strength in Jesus. Be more humble when I serve even if I’m the one in charge let others know where I get my direction.

Prayer: Dear Lord soften my heart that I may serve out of my love for you. Humble me before others that they may see past my good works to the one I’m working for.
