VERSE:
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that
he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
-- 1 Timothy 1:12

THOUGHT:
We minister by grace. We are saved and made holy by God's grace
given us in Jesus. We are declared holy and blameless before God
because of the grace of Jesus. We are given a gift to use in
ministry for the Church because of the grace of Jesus. We are given
strength from the Holy Spirit to persevere during difficult times
because of the grace of God in Jesus. So what ministry we find
ourselves capable of performing, what opportunities we have to
serve and make a difference in people's lives, and what power we
have in fulfilling our ministry are all given to us. It is not
something to boast about. The Lord's power is made perfect in
weakness as we offer ourselves to him to be used for his glory.
PRAYER:
Glorify your name, O God my Eternal Father. Thank you for Jesus
who has redeemed me, gifted me, strengthened me, led me, and
empowered me to serve. May you be glorified in all that I say and
do. In Jesus' name. Amen.
