READ
2 Timothy 2:23-24
“Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people.”
Titus 3:9
“Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time.”

REFLECT
It is a high honor to be called a servant of the Lord. It’s a title reserved for you as a son and daughter of the King. It’s a privilege. And with any privilege comes a great responsibility. You are called to be kind even when others are unkind. You are called to teach through difficult circumstances and carry a teachable heart. You are called to be patient with those who don’t always deserve your patience. You are called to let go of petty things and live to please the Lord alone. It’s a high calling that is worth your attention. A calling that sets you apart from the riff-raff of this world and gives you a purpose beyond this earth. Live for eternity and keep your focus on what matters most!

PRAY
"Forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us."
Lord, Please forgive me for the times that I have not loved others well. Forgive me for getting distracted by the riff-raff and losing sight of my purpose on this earth. I am your humble servant and I want to live an honorable life before You today!
