Serving Well

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 know I was gifted to serve and I do, but not all of the time I’m called. I pick and choose my service instead of just going with God’s leading. Every time I serve I get blessed and then God blesses all that I do. You would think I would go out of my way to find ways to serve since that is my greatest joy.

Application: I need to overcome my laziness and selfish nature. Satan whispers in my ear and gives me excuses along with my own not to serve. I get to serve this Sunday at the Harvestfest. Teri and I are in charge of the food and we get to be the first impression some might see at church. I know God will bless it and then continue to find others ways to serve

Prayer: Help me Lord be the servant you call me to be. You have given me gifts and strength to do so many things that can help others, so please use me to glorify you. May I serve as your Son did Father and please you as He pleased you.
