My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Leslie Koh  … AT THIS LINK      … related how a leader in her church was a bit hurt to learn that a young man he had been discipling for years was currently being mentored by another church leader.   But then,  God’s word revealed to this man that God uses various of His chosen leaders to tend to His field and that all of us must surrender humbly to the Lord to serve as HE uses ALL of His humble servants … for HIS glory.

And if my readers have taken in the linked song and meditated deeply on the Reference Scriptures shared above, I believe we’ll ALL be convicted to do ALL we can today - and  ALWAYS - to humbly serve our Lord.  Wouldn’t you agree?      

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for calling me out … to do ALL I can to serve You, Lord, today.

 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … again today, Lord. … for giving ALL of us the opportunity to serve You, with ALL you’ve given us.    … Amen
