If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:11

 

Serving God in some capacity might seem foreign to you, even dauting. And honestly, you can expect those feelings. As humans, we are fleshly individuals, our ways are quite opposite of Gods in our thoughts and actions (Isaiah 55:8). But don’t let that discourage you from serving Him. He has given you a specific talent to use to bring Him glory (1 Peter 4:10).

 

As a child of God, you should be aware of that talent and find ways to plug into God’s working will for your life. There are many opportunities to serve Him, it might be in the mission field abroad, or right at home within your local community. Wherever it is, serve Him proudly and expect great things to happen when you rely on His power, His wisdom and His promptings to lead you into a life of service.

 

Begin this week to serve Him. Be in prayer, asking God to open your eyes to opportunities of service and to equip you for the acts of service. Keep your heart and mind pure and don’t let the lies of satan discourage you from serving Him. Blessings will follow your faithfulness. What will you do for Him this week?
