Day 16 | Sacrifice

28 DaysDevotional
Written By Chad Balthrop

READ

Mark 10:43 (MSG)

“Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.”

REFLECT

The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige, and position. God defines greatness in terms of service and sacrifice. True servants make themselves available. True servants pay attention to needs. True servants do the best they can with what they have. True servants do every task with equal dedication. True servants are faithful to their church. True servants maintain a low profile.

RESPOND

True sacrifice means giving more than you think you can afford and trusting God to provide. Are you a true servant? Ask God to increase your faith. Ask God to show you ways you can sacrifice for the sake of others. Consider how you might adjust your lifestyle in order to sacrifice for theMission.
