Not what you were thinking?

God’s choice may not be what you were thinking…
Who would have believed that God would choose to save the world through a servant, not a king?  God works in ways we do not expect.  Christ was considered just an ordinary man. He would not attract people to Him because of great wealth, beauty, or fun.  However, He attracted those in need, the sick, and the hopeless.  Also, still today, sadly, He often attracts the same people.

Don’t be surprised when the hurting, sick, poor, accused, and sinful folks are attracted to you.  We are like our Lord.  People are attracted to us because they are looking for hope, deliverance, salvation, food…not money or good fun.  Just like Christ, we should offer them the salvation that only comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Such as I have I give thee…I offer you Christ.

A servants’ heart…

Take the time to do small, selfless acts for other people; but don’t let them know you did it!  Perhaps if you walk by an expired parking meter, you can put in a coin or two.

If working with project teams or in groups, Ask if anyone else has an idea or opinion–this creates unity.  So lastly, give all the credit to God! God works in you and will act according to His good purpose.

“Lord, show us the areas of our lives where we might be prideful, reveal our disunity, and forgive us for taking credit for the things You have done.  Amen”
Philippians 2:1-4
