Scripture Zechariah 7:5 \u201cSay to all the people of the land, and to the priests: \u2018When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months during those seventy years, did you really fast for Me\u2014for Me? <\/p>\n
Observation: I\u2019ve done several outreaches in the past and I always believed it was for God, but was it? I would do special dinners for the homeless and do outreaches in Mexico. People would praise my efforts, but was God getting the glory? I would start with good intentions, but as I was getting recognized for the success of the mission did, I take credit for it?<\/p>\n
Application: Whatever I do for the Lord, which should be everything, God deserves all of the credit. As I walk along the beach praying everyone needs to know that it is God\u2019s idea and not mine. When I pray the Holy Spirit is the zone talking and not me. I only have strength to do this because the Lord gives me the strength. I\u2019m only a vessel God uses, nothing more.<\/p>\n
Prayer Dear Lord, I thank you for using your servant. May all the people I meet know that You are my master and that I only do what You command me to do. Guide me again today to fulfill the purpose You have created me for. Your faithful bondservant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
