1 Kings 3:9
9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?"
In order to serve God we need God. This is different from the way we usually do things. Normally to serve means to fulfill a need that someone has for service. With God there is no need. He wants us to serve so others will be blessed, not him. He wants us to grow while we serve. We are never able to serve others the way God would have us serve on our own. That’s why for those who are open to his power, God shows up.
Pray for God to show you a new area of service.
