But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.  John 16:13-14 

Have you ever been on a site-seeing tour without a guide? You may be able to see all the sites, but the tour would be greatly enhanced if you were with someone who knew the ins and outs of your excursion.  On the tour of life, Christ-followers have access to the ultimate Guide who steers us to the truth of God’s Word. And he changes our mediocre life, by highlighting the areas we need to pay more attention to.  One of those opportunities is found in serving. Jesus served people everywhere he went, whether it was teaching, healing or dying for our sins. And each of our lives is filled with opportunities to serve others as well. 

What do you do when those opportunities present themselves? Is your response that of a servant? I challenge you to put other people’s interests before your own. When you do, you will experience God, and life, like you never have before.

 

Lord, thank you for sending us the Holy Spirit to guide us in our lives. As he presents opportunities for me to serve, I will take advantage of them so that I can influence the lives of those around me just as Christ did. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
