Billy Graham Devotional 5 March 2020 – The Life of a Servant
Topic: The Life of a Servant
Scripture: So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord . . . —1 Kings 17:5
Message: As messengers of God, we will often lead lonely lives. “All men forsook me,” said Paul. It is a price we have to pay; there is a loneliness in the Gospel. Yet you will not be alone, because you will be ministered to by the Spirit of God, as Elijah was ministered to at the brook Cherith. A true messenger lives a burdened life. If he is the Lord’s vessel, he carries in his heart a burden for souls none can share but those who know it firsthand.
Read Ruth Bell Graham’s message: “Emmanuel: God Is With Us.”
Prayer for the day
Just as Your Spirit took care of Elijah, I know I am not alone in Your service, almighty God.
