CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Called to Serve

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. — Galatians 5:13

Serving someone is not a glamorous concept. And yet that is what God has in mind for us who have confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior.

God knows how service to others will bless us as well as the community around us. Service is a great way to put aside our self-centeredness and notice how we are connected, even indebted, to others. When we start seeing the genuine needs of others, it deters our sense of entitlement. None of us became the people we are alone with but by the sacrifice and investment of many others from our earliest years.

Serving others not only reveals the bonds between us; it reflects the love of God.

Matthew 20:28 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Service points people to Christ; He emptied himself for us, though we deserved nothing. His example calls us to “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Ephesians 5:21).

In our “me-first” culture, God calls us to put others first. What a challenge!

PRAYER

Lord, help us to care and serve one another. Develop in us a willing heart to allow others to help. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
