Passage : Philippians 2"Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." (Philippians 2:4)
Paul was a man of such wisdom. He knew that if we sought only our own interests, the results would be devastating, both personally and to the church as a body. It is only when we are willing to become servants, looking out for the interests of others, that we can gain true spiritual joy. Jesus taught his disciples this when he washed their feet. None of them were willing to demean themselves, but Jesus took on the role of servant to teach them the lesson. No job is too low when we are serving our brethren, or our Lord. Jesus said, "If you do this to the least of your brethren, you have done it unto me." If we were to remember these words when we see the opportunities to serve in our churches and in our homes, we would be most joyful to serve. Every dish we wash, every bed we make, every card we send, every tear we wipe, every Sunday School we teach would be done to our Lord Jesus. Knowing that should change our entire outlook on service. Jesus has done so much for us, what can we do for him in return? Look around you and seek to serve others in Jesus' name and experience a joy you have never known!
And in order to do this let us ask God to give us a servant’s heart, which is always willing and loyal to serve his master. Let us ask God to give us the heart of Jesus that we might draw others to You.
