New Wineskins: Embracing God's Best for You in Your New YearSample

Day 18: Serving Others

Scripture: Galatians 5:13

"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love."

Serving others with love is at the heart of God's best. In Galatians 5:13, we are reminded, "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love."

Today, we commit to the selfless act of serving others in the new year. Serving with love is not just about doing good deeds; it's about recognizing the needs of others as important as our own and meeting them with a humble and loving heart.

In our prayer today, we ask God to help us serve others with love in this new year. We understand that serving others is a vital aspect of embracing God's best. We seek His guidance and strength to serve those around us selflessly, just as Christ served during His earthly ministry.

Prayer:

Lord, as we embark on this new year, we come before You, recognizing the importance of serving others with a humble and loving heart. We understand that this is a fundamental part of Your best for our lives. Please help us to serve one another selflessly and humbly in love. May our actions be driven by compassion and a genuine desire to meet the needs of others. We acknowledge that we were called to be free, not to indulge the flesh but to serve others. In this new year, may our service be a reflection of Your love and grace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
