BETTAVIEW

Don’t be too Big to do Something Small

Jesus entered the world to serve. We can enter our jobs, our homes, our churches. Servanthood requires no unique skill or college degree. Regardless of your strengths, training, or church tenure, you ca Love the overlooked. Jesus sits in your classroom, wearing the thick glasses, outdated clothing, and a sad face. You’ve seen Him. He’s Jesus.

When you talk to the lonely student, befriend the weary mom, you love Jesus. He dresses in the garb of the overlooked and ignored. “Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked and ig-nored, that was Me - you did it to Me.” (Matt. 25:40 MSG).

You can also:

Wave a white flag. We fight so much.

“Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from?” asks the brother of Jesus. “Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves.” (James 4:1 MSG).

His point? Let’s serve someone by swallowing our pride.

One more aspect of servanthood:

Every day do something you don’t want to do. Pick up someone else’s trash. Surrender your parking place. Call the long-winded relative. It doesn’t have to be grandiose. Don’t be too big to do something small. “Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for Him is a waste of time or effort” (I Cor. 15:58 MSG).

Running on Empty 1 Kings 19

ELIJAH was the leader among the prophets.

1. Described in James 5:17 as a PERSON just like us.

1 Kings 19 describes a time of DESPAIR in Elijah’s life.

1. Our most vulnerable point can come right after a great VICTORY.

What happened to the mighty man of God?

1. FEAR replaced his FAITH. God provided Elijah with four things he desperately needed. I. He needed time to RECOVER (5-8a) II. He needed to REDISCOVER God (8b-13) III. He needed to be REASSIGNED (14-18) IV. He needed a RELATIONSHIP (19-21)
