PROTECT YOUR HEART  Proverbs 4:20-27 Devotional:- “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (V. 23) NLT      Everyone is born with a strength capable of rising to greatness. In every growing child is a seed of greatness. It is this strength that makes the youth so creative and energetic. That is why each young person looks at the future with great hope. The enemy tries to destroy this strength. As strong as many started in life, not many could strike the chord of success because their strength was destroyed.

HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT

HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT

Mark 10:35-45
Devotional:- “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” [v.43].


    The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige and position but God determined your greatness by how many people you serve. This is quite contrary to the world view. Jesus called Himself servant and to be like Him is to be a servant. That is why it is so important to have a servant’s heart. God often test our heart by asking us to serve even outside our shape or area of interest. Your priority area of service should be in your area of shape, but God could demand for your service wherever needed.

Looking at how a servant act is important because one could serve in a church for years and not be a real servant. Real servants make themselves available to serve. If you only serve when it is convenient, then you are not a good servant (2 Timothy 2:4). Real servants pay attention to needs, always looking out for how to help others (Proverb 3:28). Real servants do their best with what they have. They don't give excuses. 

Real servants do every task with equal dedication (Colossians 3:23). They know great opportunity often disguised themselves in small task. Small tasks show a big heart. Real servants are faithful in their ministries. They don't leave job half way done. Real servants maintain low profile. They don't call attention to themselves (1 Peter 5:5; Matt.6:1; Gal.1:10). Be humble in service and let God promote you (Col. 3:4). In heaven, secret services will be more rewarded. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, put in me the heart of a real servant.
