Foundations Devotional: Week 2, Day 2
Day 1 – Service
Scripture Reading: Galatians 5:13-14
13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Reflection: A vital aspect of “being” the church is the value of serving. Scripture tells us that even Jesus himself did not come to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many. (Matt. 20:28). Serving one another is a vital aspect of reflecting Jesus as members of His church. Take a moment to reflect on the gifts and talents God has given you. How can you use them to serve others in your community?
Prayer: Dear Lord, open my eyes to the needs around me. Help me to see people through the eyes of Christ. I pray that you would give me the courage and compassion to serve others selflessly, reflecting Your love through my actions. Amen.
