Servant Assignments

Who do you think Paul is, anyway? Or Apollos, for that matter? Servants, both of us—servants who waited on you as you gradually learned to entrust your lives to our mutual Master. We each carried out our servant assignment. I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plants, but God made you grow. It's not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow. Planting and watering are menial servant jobs at minimum wages. What makes them worth doing is the God we are serving. You happen to be God's field in which we are working."  1 Corinthians 3:5-9

"We each carried out our servant assignment."  What will be Lyssa and Kyle's "servant assignment" be?  How will they recognize God's leading and plan in their lives?  What will they do?  Who will they be?  In what ways will the serve our Savior with their lives?  Oh, I can't wait to see how they carry out their days ahead.

But those things they do?  "What makes them worth doing is the God we are serving."  May their hearts be so entwined with their Savior that they can't help but long to serve Him.

Thank you, Lord, for knowing the plans you have for Alyssa and Kyle.  Thank you that you will carry onto completion the work you are doing in their lives.  And thank you for the gifts and talents that you give them, and that they have opportunities to serve, teach, and bless others with those gifts.  I pray, dear Jesus, that Alyssa and Kyle will be attentive to your voice, and aware of your leading, as you continue to mold and make them into what you want them to be.  May they always follow you, and walk obediently in your path.  Use them to draw other people to yourself.  Allow them the opportunity to minister to others, and reflect you living in their lives.  Grow in them a trust and faith in you, so that no matter where you lead, they will follow!  Thank you, Lord, for whatever the servant assignment is for Alyssa and Kyle, and for the reminder that what makes them worth doing is you,  God we are serving.  I love you, dear Jesus, deeper than words can express.
