“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
As believers, it’s important that we serve Christ. Christ tells us that whatever we do for one another, we’ve done to Him. Therefore, it’s important as disciples of Christ we participate in the work of the ministry.
It’s easy to forget why we serve. You may have gotten involved in a particular ministry because someone asked you, because the ministry was shorthanded, or maybe you’re gifted in that area. We may forget why we serve when frustrations sets in or you disagree with members in your ministry. When emotions or variables cloud your mind remember you serve to please God. Win God’s approval in your service and you will receive all the approval you need! When you seek God first and His Kingdom, He will give you everything you need.
Be a servant of Christ
Heavenly Father, I strive to win Your approval. I will look for ways to please You in my life and in my service toward You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is my prayer
