empowerment

Jeremiah 45:5
5 Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don’t do it! I will bring great disaster upon all these people; but I will give you your life as a reward wherever you go. I, the Lord, have spoken!’”

When you are serving others for the sake of your own glory, you have your reward. Affirmation from people and a sense of power. When you are serving others for their sake, you have God’s affirmation and a sense of empowerment. These are two completely different scenarios. Which one do you want to be part of?

Pray for focus outside of yourself.
