Serve and honor

“Israel, you are my servant; and because of you I will be highly honored.” ~ Isaiah 49:3 (CEV)

God hasn’t rejected his people, whom he knew in advance. ~ Romans 11:2 (CEB)

KEY IDEA: We are God's people, chosen to bring honor to him.
Lord,

THANKS: I'm grateful that you know me and that you have given me the opportunity to serve you.

REGRETS: I spend too much of my time and energy trying to serve myself. I am too willing to accept honor that belongs only to you.

INTERCESSION: Give me the grace to keep your honor as my main concern.

PURPOSE: I'm trusting you to empower me to serve you.

Amen.
