Called to Equip people to Serve by Growing Disciples of Jesus Christ

Devotion for March 3 by Pat Benoy


In Genesis 12:2, the Lord said to Abram, “I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing”. I love this idea of being “blessed to be a blessing”.

Blessings come in many ways, shapes and forms. We may be blessed with family, friends, time, talents, good health or money. These are gifts that God does not want us to keep to ourselves, but rather to reach out and share these blessings with others.

In 1Peter 4:10, Peter encourages us to be “Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received”.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings you have bestowed upon me. Help me to     recognize how these blessings equip me to be of service to you. In Jesus name, Amen.
