DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 19:8 to 20:42; Isaiah 60; Romans 5:12-21
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38
From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. John 6:66
Handling rejection is not easy. We all like to be liked. How do we feel when our service for the Lord does not seem to be valued or recognized? Underneath all the acts of our Lord was the desire to bring joy to the heart of God and to finish His work. He knew what He was doing and He knew who He was doing it for. If we adopted His approach we would revolutionize our service. “With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men” (Eph. 6:7). —Sid Halsband
Behold the servant of the Lord! I wait Thy guiding eye to feel,
Joyful from my own works to cease, glad to fulfill all righteousness.
—John Wesley
