Live To Serve

[Walter and Deborah]

Friday 10-22-21 Cheshvan 15, 5782 6th. day of the weekly cycle, 31st. Fall Day

 1 Peter 4:8–11 KEY VERSE: 

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. – 

1 Peter 4:10 BIBLE IN A YEAR: Isaiah 65–66; 1 Timothy 2

Proverbs 19:17. 17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.

Acts 20:35. 35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Matthew 5:16. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Hebrews 6:10. 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

 Similarly, those who serve must not depend on their own strength but draw their strength from God, so that God alone may be glorified through Jesus Christ. Galatians 5:13–14 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28

Love always, Walter and Debbie

Maybe this verse was quoted because your post is about serving Him. A life of service is a life serving our Lord.

Maybe you are correct:

REFLECT: How can you rely on God to help you serve others today? In what way has God been nudging you to serve Him that seems too big for you to handle alone?

Faithful Father, please give me all I need to serve You by loving others with my words and actions today. Thank you.

Love, Walter

You can't out give God. Not I, but Christ working through me.

[enoob57]

The fulness of service begins with the obedience of the 1^st and greatest commandment... as one seek to fulfill it the second comes automatically in line... as the heart grows totally to the things of God then God in them reaches out to others around- we then become the witnesses of the witness within us... 
 

Rom 8:16-17

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
KJV
