Today’s Reading
Colossians 3:12-17
If you utter what is precious and not what is worthless, you shall serve as my mouth. – Jeremiah 15:19 (NRSVUE)
I try to serve God in as many ways as possible — in my church, in my neighborhood, and through my work. I teach English at a Christian secondary school, and I lead a weekly devotional time for the 13- and 14-year-old students. We read a few verses from the Bible and then discuss them. I ask open-ended questions, and I try to draw the students closer to the Bible story by connecting ordinary examples from our lives to the verses we have read.
I do my best to share my faith and God’s love with the students. I talk about my faith experiences, but sometimes I feel that the message is too personal. I want to speak about God’s love, not about my feelings and problems. Before I lead each devotional time, I pray, “Lord, what do you want me to talk about? What is your message to these students today?” I want to humbly share God’s message and bless these 70 young people through my words.
As I lead the devotional time, I always feel that the Holy Spirit is with us. I see how carefully the students listen. I pray that God’s message reaches and touches their hearts. I am not afraid to talk anymore because the Lord leads my heart, mind, and lips. I am happy and honored to be God’s messenger to the children of our school.
Today’s Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your love for us. Give us strength and courage to work and speak in your name. Amen.
Thought for the Day
