Day 5 - Thursday, September 15, 2011
Read: Isaiah 60:21; 1 Corinthians 6:20
We are the work of God’s hands – with the purpose of showing His glory and
splendor. We are bought with a price; we are not our own - we belong to God.
As we work and serve at Discover Church, we are not here to showcase our own
talents and gifts, but to proclaim Him, the Author and Giver of all talents and
abilities. His promises are not dependent upon our own abilities or favorable
circumstances, but on the work of God in our lives, and our humility before Him.
Remember, Jesus came to serve; not to be served and He is our example to fol-
low.
Father,
Thank you for the gifts and abilities you have placed in our lives. May we surren-
der fully to You and allow You to equip and use us in any way You desire. May
we be willing to receive no praise or credit for what we do. May we always be
willing to take the lowest place, to be a servant, to work not for individual
praise, but for the building up of Your kingdom on earth, and for the glory of
Jesus Christ.
Pray and ask God to show you today ways to serve the 10 people that you
have been praying for.
Journal: What new thing has God shown you today, and how will you apply it to
your life?
