“Serving, In Humility”
I Peter 5:6
Pride is a downhill ride, and the biggest loser is the one that’s eaten up by it. It will destroy the very best of people. We are to love righteousness and do good; Jesus went to heal the sick. We are also to go to them and minister to their needs. Jesus went also to do good. We are also to go with humble hearts and helping hands, offering ourselves as a living sacrifice. Jesus will not only sit with us, and have fellowship with us, but will go with us where the needs of others are. If we will go, He said, “Lo I am with you.” When Jesus washed the disciple's feet, he took on the duties of a servant, to prove to them that we too must serve others with kindness and meekness, especially in giving them the gospel; We must be willing to give ourselves to this humble work.
Do you know someone that is hurting? Go to them with a gentle touch of care. Is a friend cast down? Go with one purpose, to lift them up, and you may be lifted yourself. Is someone weeping? Go, to help dry their eyes. Is a child hungry? Feed him and you’ll win him.
“Humility”
Be bathed in humility, but carefully watch it,
‘Cause when you think you’ve got it,
you’ve lost it!
The one that brags about being humble,
Is getting ready to go for a tumble.
Humility never boasts of itself,
And in Heaven, it will rest upon a shelf.

Weekly Memory Verses: 2 Peter 3:9-12
9 ¶The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 ¶Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
