There Is Joy in Humble Service
Lord, I know some people who are absolutely miserable. They know they have made some terrible and selfish choices. They feel depressed and guilty all the time. They have found out the sad truth that Satan is lying when he promises happiness and satisfaction.
But I have found the reverse to be true also. When I listen to you, when I adjust my values to you, when I dare to do your will, my life is good! I love that feeling! I don’t like the urge to run away from you, avoiding you, fearing you. I love the sense of your smile and approval.
I have found your words to be true: “The LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation” (Psalm 149:4). I know my sinful past is washed away; I know your powerful Spirit is at work in me, changing me and leading me. I love my life whenever I think that you are delighted in me. I love wearing my crown of salvation--it makes me feel that I can endure any hardship and overcome any obstacle.
My Savior is my hero and example. He came not to be served but to serve. Help me believe, really believe, always believe that you call great those who serve other people humbly.

God knows that our tongues and brains sometimes lack the words to say, and so he provided the beautiful book of Psalms in his Word to provide vocabulary for us to bring our thoughts and concerns to him. These devotions, one for each day of the month, use psalms to help you voice your needs and hurts and joys to the Lord.
