Serve in Gratitude

A Living Faith
What is Faith?

Faith Empowers Endurance

1 Timothy 4:6-10

The Message
6-10 You’ve been raised on the Message of the faith and have followed sound teaching. Now pass on this counsel to the followers of Jesus there, and you’ll be a good servant of Jesus. Stay clear of silly stories that get dressed up as religion. Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart. This is why we’ve thrown ourselves into this venture so totally. We’re banking on the living God, Savior of all men and women, especially believers.

For Reflection
Those of us who have committed to God, who have trust and confidence in His counsel have an obligation to serve Him.  Not out of fear, not out of self reward, but rather we serve out of gratitude.  We commit completely to a disciplined life of study, prayer and witness to the living God. 

Pray
that you will serve Him with out reservation.  Pray that you will be a living testament to his mercy and grace.
