Rule of Life: Service

Part 4 0f 4 in the Simple Rule of Life Series

2118719573_f58ff0bbce_bIn this brief series, I’ve discussed what could be seen as a Rule of Life Tripod. Three simple things to build our daily life around: Prayer, Scripture, and Service. In this post, I’ll wrap it up by looking at the third leg: Service.

Service – following the example of Jesus, the one who came not to be served but to serve

Kevin Hart: I’m a Grown Little Man on dvd I think that living a life of service is just as central to following Jesus as prayer and Scripture are. The example Jesus set for us was one of living for the sake of others. Consider these Scriptures that point the way to a life of service:

Mark 10:45 – For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. скрытая камера женщина мастурбирует

Philippians 2:3-5 – Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.  Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus

Ephesians 6:7 – Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men,

If we are following Jesus, then we will naturally begin to look outside of ourselves and to how we can serve and help those around us. However, though this should begin to happen naturally, we also need to intentionally serve people. We can’t just wait until we want The Unforgettable Benny Hill move Fargo movie to serve, we have to learn to discipline our self and practice Christ-like service.

Just as we make prayer and Scripture a normal part of our daily rhythm, we ought to live each day with our eyes open and our hearts willing to serve those we come in contact with.

So, how can you live a life of service to those you work with, your neighbors, your family and friends? How can you serve with an attitude of love and as if you are serving God?

Here is a simple prayer to help us open our hearts to God in service:

“Lord Jesus, as it would please you bring me someone today whom I can serve.” from Celebration of Discipline

So, to recap our Simple Rule of Life:

I want to shape my daily life around the rhythms of

  • Prayer – an ongoing relational conversation with God
  • Scripture – a reading, studying, and meditation on the Message of God
  • Service – living everyday with an open heart, eyes, and hands ready to serve and help others in the way of Jesus
