: : : REAL SERVANTS PAY ATTENTION : : : By Rick Warren : : Also available as a podcast at: http://thelife.com/blogs/experience/kindle/2008/10/01/real-servants-pay-attention-2/ : : ** Learn how to be a better servant; become a volunteer with TruthMedia: http://truthmedia.com/engage/volunteer/ : : "Never tell your neighbors to wait until tomorrow if you can help them now." Proverbs 3:28 (TEV) : : Real servants pay attention to needs. Servants are always on the lookout for ways to help others. When they see a need, they seize the moment to meet it, just as the Bible commands us: "Whenever we have the opportunity, we have to do what is good for everyone, especially for the family of believers" (Galatians 6:10 GWT). : : When God puts someone in need right in front of you, he is giving you the opportunity to grow in servanthood. Notice that God says the needs of your church family are to be given preference, not put at the bottom of your "things to do" list. : : We miss many occasions for serving because we lack sensitivity and spontaneity. Great opportunities to serve never last long. They pass quickly, sometimes never to return again. You may only get one chance to serve that person, so take advantage of the moment. : : "Never tell your neighbors to wait until tomorrow if you can help them now" (Proverbs 3:28 TEV). : : John Wesley was an incredible servant of God. His motto was: : : "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can." : : That is greatness. You can begin by looking for small tasks that no one else wants to do. Do these little things as if they were great things, because God is watching. : : Permanent devotional link: http://thelife.com/experience/devotionalformen/real-servants-pay-attention/ : : Question: What opportunities has God put into your life to serve your fellow brothers and sisters? : : About this author: http://thelife.com/experience/devotionalformen/authors/rick-warren/ : : : Comment on the devotional blog.
