Devotion:
Read Philippians 1:3-11.
One of the greatest things about serving the mission of our Lord is that we do not do it alone. We get to serve alongside a lot of other people whom God has also called into this ministry. Paul begins his letter to the Christians at Philippi giving thanks for them: “In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now….all of you share in God’s grace with me.” It gives him a sense of joy when he thinks about these partners in ministry.
Today, I invite you to think about the people you have served alongside in ministry over the years. Other members and leaders of the churches where you have been a member. People in your Sunday School classes or other small groups you have been a part of. Participants on mission teams or other service groups you have served alongside. Other choir or music team members. Receive the joy that comes from the memories of them and what you shared together in ministry for our Lord Jesus Christ! And don’t forget those with whom you are getting to serve right now! Thanks be to God for all of them, past and present!
Personal Worship Option:
Consider contacting a few of those people you thought of. Give thanks to God for them.
