“For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers” (Romans 15:8) Christ has done what needs to be done in order to reach a hard hearted and stubborn people. Sinners do not want to believe that the God of all would serve, but life itself is a gift given by the One who created it all. Christ serves us as an example that we ought to serve one another, for we will be conformed to His image. Therefore, trust in the promises given by the One who first served you. Lord, I am one of those hard hearted and stubborn people. Help me not resist the direction You would take me in order to live into the promises You give. Guide me away from what I think into what You have said. Help me not cling to the old things, but to live as one who has had the rottenness cut off and Your goodness to replace what I once considered important. Lord Jesus, You have set the example of how to live the godly life – by serving. Help me today to be Your servant and to be the servant of others for the sake of the Gospel. Guide me to do those things You would have me do and live according to Your Word. In all I do this day, may it be Your presence, purpose and power that guides me. Amen.
