Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.
Many of us are afraid of service. Just what will be expected of me? Do I have to do something I am not comfortable doing? I don't have time for this, is there something quick I do? Perhaps these questions are prompted by our misunderstanding of the word SERVE.For me, I see a waitress or waiter, menus in hand, pencil poised just waiting to be given an order. While that is a form of service, it isn't the only one, nor what we are speaking of when we ask for folks to help serve.
Serving can be as simple as visiting with an elderly neighbor, perhaps bringing them food. It can be as mundane as raking leaves for this same neighbor, or as professional as providing skilled nursing.
Jesus served His followers every day. He provided food, healed
Jesus served His followers, not only the Disciples but all who followed His moves. He provided food, healed them from illness, washed their dusty feel and showed kindness and love with every deed. Jesus encouraged everyone who came in contact with Him. His servant's heart drew people into to Him.
Our servant's heart will do the same. How are you going to put someone else first today? What will that look like in your life?
Hebrews 10:19-25
