Today’s Scripture
“Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant.”
Matthew 23:11, MSG

BE A SERVANT
Sometimes we don’t serve because it seems small and insignificant. But on the way to the big things God has in store, He will test us with small things. You have to first serve where you are with a good attitude. If you’ll excel in that small position, do more than you have to, God will open something bigger. Don’t discount staying late and helping a coworker. Don’t talk yourself out of going the extra mile in your home, serving your family with a glad heart, getting up early, making sure everything is right. Nobody may be saying thank you, and it feels like it’s unnoticed, but God sees your sacrifice. That’s what leads to new levels.

Where you’re serving may feel small, but it’s key to you rising higher. It may not be the main thing God put in your heart, but it’s leading to the main thing. You can’t skip that step and reach your destiny. Success is not an elevator; it’s a set of stairs. God leads you step-by-step. Will you serve even though it feels insignificant?

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that Jesus came not to be served but to serve others and give His life as a ransom for many. Help me to be like Him and keep my eyes open for the people and opportunities You bring me to serve and bless with a glad heart. I believe You are taking me higher. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

SECTION TWO

Listen to the words that God pronounced over Abraham: “I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing” (Gen. 12:2).

My friend, as you trust God to walk more and more in the fullness of Abraham’s blessing, have a revelation that He blesses you because He loves you, and gives to you the privilege of being a practical extension of His love to your community, your country, and beyond.

God’s financial provision is for a divine purpose. Don’t use people and love money. Instead, use money to love people!

When it comes to our relationship with people, it is always more blessed to give than to receive. Have an abundant eye and heart, look around for people in need and bless them. Let your light so shine before all men for the glory of the name of Jesus Christ!

Today, see His abundant grace abounding toward you and your family so that you will have an abundance for every good work!
