After speaking at Family Camp last week a few people asked me to blog the challenges that were given. I decided to do a little more than that. You will find and abbreviated outline of all five messages over the next few days. I hope it will continue to challenge those of us that were in the services and maybe help others that weren't. (thanks Steven)
I find myself asking God whats next after I've reached a new spiritual level and He has been faithful to me by answering "Take it to the next level, I dare you to move". hopefully these 5 devotionals will help you with the "how".
1st Movement - Service
Tension:
The challenge to move the next level can be overwhelming, the first step should be that of practicality and simple application to a physical world.
Self-examination:
Ask yourself two questions.
- "Can I see a need?"
- "Have I been given the means to fulfil that need?"
What God has to say:
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:8
Romans 13:8
- Above all God has called us to love
- Service is the physical application of love.
Self-application:
Make a commitment to reckognize needs
- Listen for God
- Obey Him when He calls
Challenge:
What would the world look like if we answered the call to serve?
What would our relationship with God look like if we obeyed Him when he called us?
