I wish I had a super spiritual reason for not posting yesterday. But I don’t. Thursday is date night and my primary ministry is to this man and his crazy kids. So when he said he needed to get out of the house, I put my shoes on, and we got out of the house.
In his first miracle, he blessed the people at the wedding at Cana. And every miracle after that was directed towards specific people. Jesus served the people around him. As he walked out his life, heaven put people in his path to serve. HE healed the sick. He raised the dead…but he also served people in other ways. He talked to the woman at the well. He showed mercy to the woman caught in adultery, and he washed the disciples feet. While I can’t perform the miraculous, I can do mundane tasks to honor the dignity of the people God has placed in my path.
So while Thursday was spent serving specific people, Jesus’ death on Friday was for all people. There is nothing I can do that can compare to that. But I can serve God, by telling as many people as possible that salvation is available to them. I don’t have the ability to save the world, but I can point to the one who has all power in His hands.
So today I am thinking about service. How can I serve my family, my friends, and my community better? In what way can I be of service to you, because if you found yourself on my little cozy corner of the internet, you are now a part of my community, and I want to serve you, too.
